I’ve stored a bunch of cars for winter for years. A couple I left sit without starting for like 5 months at a time. Those cars usually dried out the valve seals so after a couple years of leaving them without starting for months at a time, after a while I noticed blue smoke on startup. I’d say off the top of my head it was at least 3 different cars. Valve seals dried and didn’t seal correctly. The many other cars I stored and store over the years that I did start here and there over the winter did not have this happen.
Just something I have observed over the years of myself and many friends storing cars over the winter. I am also in Canada and it does go well below freezing where I live here in Ontario.
