Default Winterizing car?

Beyond putting irish spring soap everywhere, i've been told it keeps the mice out, what should i do. It will be in a garage and covered. I am about due for an oil change anyways so i figured i would do that. I thought i read somewhere about filling the tank to the top, what about adding stabilizer or is that only for small engines.

fill it up, put in some stabilizer just in case

and put it on jack stands, so you wont have flat spotting

Sounds like a good time to polish the rims.
