storage question - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

roosh725 · 10-21-2010, 06:28 PM

so i recently purchased my 04 mach 1 and it had been stored during winters. i was cleaning the car a few days ago and checked the coolant level and saw that it was water. makes sense since it was only driven on nice days and was stored in a heated garage. so back to my question.. i will also be storing it until next spring and the garage i will be putting it in is not heated. do i need to put antifreeze in there or what?

Immediately. You should never run with straight water in the car. The coolant, in addition to it's obvious purpose, also protects the system from corrosion.
