I looked through posts and could not find anything on this particular subject.

I am in the middle of buying a Mazda CX50 both for winter driving and to have a more "practical" vehicle for year-round use. I live by the ocean in RI, and we don't get much snow. I have a space in a covered garage, though it's not heated (I also have an outdoor space for the Mazda). My plan is to drive the Mustang during the winter when the streets are clear and there's no salt being used - where I am there is usually not.

Question: Is there anything special I need to do if I am driving my car through the winter on a reasonably regular basis?

Probably just spray Fluid Film on all metal underneath the car and put a maintainer on the better if it’s going to sit.

Nothing more that the ocean is going to cause.

I store mine every winter. Before putting down I do a synthetic oil change, get it washed, fill it up, put in a can of fuel stabilizer and throw a cover on it. Six winters now and no issues.
