Winterizing............
Getting ready for the winter in my 95SE non SC.
Oil change
Coolant drain/refill(peak 50-50 premix) w/water pump lube
Rotate tires
New wiper blades
Did fuel pump/filter, serpentine belt, tune-up in Summer 2005
This will be my 2nd winter on the battery.
Anything else to get while weather is still bearable???

Other than that, I would check the tire pressure (between 30 & 32 psi) and make sure the compact spare has 60 psi in it.
And if you're really serious about winter driving, I personally would drive with Snow Tires on all for corners

Here are the steps
1) Oil change
2) park in garage
3) drive beater all winter
4) remove from garage when weather warms up.
That is my plan. Basically because I have a leaky car and access to both things above. For the winter I would say make sure your tires are good. I had a regal I swear had 4WD because the tires handled so well in the snow.
