On topic...if your car has already seen a winter or two, oiling may be a better option. That way, you're not sealing in an existing/starting "problem"...
Oiling IE Mineral oil misted into the plug holes and the intake?

Yeah, I'm looking at Stabil and the Stabil oil for the engine. Not quite ready to put her on blocks just yet.

It's a standard for Aviation to use a mineral type oil as a preservative since many large operations will have several spare engines on hand to be pulled and put in place of a blown/timed out engine. Spray everything that can move, give the crank a few turns to coat everything and box 'er up.
