If being parked inside, you do not want to "seal the car up" by closing all windows. Leave two windows opened an inch and use a car cover to reduce the dust. The idea is for some ventilation that the body venting opens will not do. I was at the Concourse D'Elegance (sp?) in Pebble Beach years back and they had a small "seminar" on how to store cars. For concourse cars, there is a huge list, but most winter storage cars simply filling the tank, add a stabilizer like Sea Foam, drive is at least 20 miles so the stabilizer is distributed throughout the fuel system (tank, lines, injectors, etc..) then top off again before parking. Ideally, block the car up and remove the wheels, but MAX pressure is fine if parking and NEVER use the parking brake. They even said changing the oil before storage was not as important as changing it before the first start up in spring. If possible, fill the oil filter and let is soak while you drain the oil.
