Watch that temp in the garage! Rust ( OXIDATION ) is a chemical reaction which speeds up greatly w/ heat. Several friends of mine have had severe corrosion problems w/ heated garages!! They had drains in the floor and running hot water and washed the cars frequently, you need moisture for oxidation, cars don't rust excessively in the desert. Aircraft storage hangers are heated to 40 degrees partially to fight corrosion!

Just to add to an on going issue. I like using Mobil VR1 20W50 non synthetic for engine break in. I also run it in my high perf circle track motor with no issues at all.
