❄️ Putting Your Car or Bike Away for Winter? ❄️
Storing your motorbike, classic car, or sports car for winter? A few quick steps now will save you headaches when spring rolls around.
1️⃣ Change the oil before storage
Old oil contains moisture, acids and combustion by-products that sit in the engine for months and can cause internal corrosion.
A fresh fill of quality Ravenol oil keeps everything protected, reduces wear during downtime, and gives you a smooth first start in spring.
2️⃣ Protect the fuel system
Modern petrol (especially E5/E10) goes stale fast. When left sitting it can:
• absorb moisture
• separate and oxidise
• form varnish and gum
• clog injectors or carbs
• cause rough running or non-starts
3️⃣ Add RAVENOL Petrol Quality Protect
Made for winter storage, it:
• binds and suspends condensation so it can’t rust the tank
• stabilises fuel during long lay-ups
• prevents deposits forming in injectors and carbs
• protects against corrosion
• improves starting after months of inactivity
Ideal for bikes, classic cars, performance cars, boats, motorhomes, lawnmowers - anything running a petrol 4-stroke. One bottle treats 60–75L.

4️⃣ Quick extra tips
• Inflate tyres slightly higher to prevent flat spots
• Put battery on a smart charger
• Wash & fully dry the vehicle
• Crack windows or vents for airflow
• Use a breathable indoor cover
• Roll the vehicle occasionally to protect tyres
Do these and your pride & joy will wake up in spring just as you tucked it away.
