Storing a car.

[NateKim]

I won't be driving my car for a month, and I was wondering if I had to drain any of the fluids or anything. Or should I have someone drive the car once maybe during that month, or can I just leave the car and not have to give my keys to someone for a month.

just leave it.
if ANYTHING, disconnect the battery.

a month is nothing dude. just leave it and it'll be fine.

^^ thats what i was gonna say. disconnect the battery
itll be fine to just sit there. but would be better to get someone to just start it once or twice in the month

A month is nothing. If it was like <4 months. Maybe drain the fluids.

If your oil seizes inside the head, then you'll be worrying about it.

mines gonna be sitting for 3 months and i dont want to start it since i've got an exhaust leak where the turbo meets the manifold and i need a new iacv cause im running rich. i should just drain the fluids shouldnt i? or just repair the car before i leave? so someone else can start it up once in a while.

I left mine sitting for 7 months, came back from Iraq and re-connected the battery. everyhting ran fine.

just disconnect the battery and put a cover on it so the car doesnt get dirty...


easy peasy
