Hi,

  Like you probably know winter is hard for a Westfalia in Montreal (lot of salt on the road and big change in temperature) Beacause of that, I want to store my west for the winter but what should I do to be sure to not get any trouble when summer will come?  

  -Should I put some oil in my cylinder?
  -Should I lift the van?   if yes, should I lift it to compress shock absorber or not?
  -Should I put more or less air in the tire?
  -What with the batterie?    etc...
  
  And finnaly what is the better oil to put in the vanagon.  My mecanic put Quaker state oil at my last chage but I �m not sure if it is good oil, what do you think?

  Thanks,
