5. Put battery tender on car or remove the terminals from the battery (remove entirely from car if you wish and place on block of wood).
6. Cover exhaust tips to avoid risk of having cooked critter in Spring.
7. Inflate tires to max PSI recommended on the tires.
8. Cover car.
I parked mine on a tarp this year to keep moisture transfer down while in the garage. I also sprayed lithium grease on various bolts in the engine bay to prevent rust/condensation.
This seems to work well for me. To avoid issues with my summer wheels/tires, I just put the stock back on this year.

WOW!
Just ....WOW!
A bit of overkill. Now you make me feel guilty for leaving my lawnmower out in the snow....
And as for changing the oil but NOT the filter.... WOW again.
$50 worth of oil, runined/degraded by not changing a $5 filter?
