I always change oil/filter just before storage. Read somewhere about acidity in oil with dissolved fuel (old oil). I time my oil changes so the car is ready for one before storage +/- a few kms.

My checklist:
-fresh oil/filter
-full tank w/ stabilizer added while filling, run thru engine driving home 5 mins
-tires pressurized to max rating
-battery tender

That's it. Very simple and never had any issues.

This year I will not start the engine at all. Reason is, avoiding warming engine avoids water from condensation.

I disagree with car cover, it can hold in condensation and the car can take hits you wont realize you are doing if you cant see it. Dust washes off in the spring or California duster occasionally.
