Adding on to this, I have had my BN6 up on stands for over a year and plan
to take it down in the spring now when the weather gets back to anything
above 55 degrees. What should I be careful of in starting it for the first
time in a long time. Brakes have been completely rebuilt so there is no
problem there but I am worried about the ewngine lubrication system.

Subject: Anti-freeze
I'm reluctantly getting ready to put my BT7 up for the winter. Here in RI it
gets down to -5 f sometimes. --And I've been running the car on pure water,
water-wetter, and no antifreeze.
-Any recommendations on the type or brand of antifreeze to use or not to
use?
-Also, just for expediency's sake, can anyone give me the quantity needed to
give the proper protection in a 6 cylinder car? --My intent is to drain
enough water/wetter to make room to add the antifreeze, then run it long
enough to get it mixed, before putting it up for the winter. --So I really
won't be driving the car with the antifreeze in it.
Is one any better than another for rust inhibition, etc?
