My car is in the garage for the winter and under a car cover. I have the tank full and she has just been sitting for a while. Would it be good to start her up and let her run for a while every 2 weeks or so? What else should I do?

She is staying in the garage until the earliest of mid march. Then she is just coming out into the driveway for a cat back install and an oil, tranny, and other fluid change. Then she will be back on the road. It seems like letting the car sit for 4 months would be bad.

Thanks for any help.

 

yea it would be wise tp start hr up every so often and to put in fuel stabilizer

 

make sure you open the garage first[&:]

 

If anything it's good to crank the battery but yea, give it a start at least every couple weeks or so

 

Does a bear **** in the woods? I mean yes start it once a week and have the garage open when you do.

 

Yeah Jmac, I would start her up every once in a while. I keep mine stored during the winter months and need to start her up again, its been about a month. Let her warm up for a while, I would say at least5 minutes or longer, just to get everything lubed and water vapors out of the engine.

 

Its a good idea to start it up at least once a week, that way all the rotating parts are oiled up. Like djb said, some fuel stabilizer wouldnt be a bad idea.

 

+1 on the fuel stabilizer.
