I'm flattered you'd give weight to my recommendation, but I really have no experience in (purposely) storing cars. Yes, I have one in particular I may learn later what I should have done, so I'm paying attention to the advice you're getting, but we don't have any Toyotas or anything so we drive 240s all year. I keep one out of the salt, but that's the extent of the seasonal storage.

My main pleasure taken from synthetic is the extended oil change interval and its resilience to procrastinating drivers with "busy" lives. The flame traps stay clean. None of that coke-looking burned oil clogging things. And yes, I think the top end receives better lube for a longer time.

I've run a tank of 5-year-old fuel without any prep. No Sta-bil. My luck is not your best example, I know.
