Default Best Way to Recondition Seals

My 92 Lude only has 65k miles on it and i still dont drive that much because im at college. Im wondering of the different ways i can compensate for it just sitting there. I know that this is bad for the seals. Thanks.

Drive it around the block and head onto a freeway. Spend driving 30 minutes

Yup, driving it occasionally keeps the seals oiled.

Are you even sure he's talking about the engine? I use silicone oil on my seals on the body of the car. If you're going to leave the car sitting and there's no way around it, just open up the valve cover and pour in oil over the valves and cams before you start it up.

I haven't driven my car for over a year. I got transferred to Brazil and didn't want to sell the lude because of all the mods the car had. I bought some proponal fuel stabilizer and my son drives the car a mile or so every two weeks. I'll give the car a test run late April when I get back to see if I can blow the engine! I've only got 55k miles on the body, 104k miles on the theft replacement engine. Mint body.
