ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for conditioning an internal combustion engine for storage is disclosed. The engine includes an ECU that is programmed to initiate an auto-fogging procedure. The auto-fogging procedure automatically introduces increased amounts of lubricating oil into the engine thereby coating the cylinders and some of the internal components of the engine with a protective film of oil for storage.
