Winter storage - engine inhibit?

Would anyone have a procedure for winter storage. I'm thinking of five months and specifically looking at engine inhibition (avgas engine). I believe there's a product called VapourOil to spray into the cylinders to clear out the condensation.

Alternative opinion is do nothing as not necessary.

Another opinion (from an aircraft mechanic) was to turn the prop every now and then. However I don't see what good this is - the oil won't be circulated - seems to me more potential for harm than good.

Recommendations would be appreciated.
