Default fogging or PB lube?

I never used any of these products in my cylinders when winterizing- but there is so much talk out there- worth it? and these products dont affect the engine oil?


thanx!

I was steered away from the fogging idea by my Dealer when I bought my BO. I do put 6-8 oz of Seafoam in the tank for winter storage and that is an upper cylinder lube, among other things. In any case I wash, wax, change oil, top up with E0 and 6-8 oz SeaFoam, plug in tender and toss on a cover in an unheated garage.

Problem free every spring so far.

I have always fogged my motors on everything I winterize. I would like to tell you why, but short of it is the way I was taught I don't have a real reason for it. Never had any problems from doing it so I will just keep going with it until there is a reason not to.
