How often to start car when in storage? advice?
Hey guys I recently broke my leg, so I won't be driving my eg any time soon. Parked it in the garage and it will stay there for another couple of months, its already been like two and a half weeks. I heard that as long as you start it about once a month is should be okay, how does that sound?
Yeah I'd like to take it for a drive everyday, but it's a damn pain getting in and out with my leg, yeah it's my right one, thanks for the replies guys, guess I gotta try and drive my gas guzzler V8..

when my coupe sat for a few months I would start it once a week and run it for about ten minutes. I would also run the A/C for a while to keep the compressor lubricated.
sorry to hear about the leg.

put it on jacks, disconnect the battery, and drain the oil.
When you go to start it up, fill it up with fresh oil and crank it for about 30 seconds without the spark plugs out- to get oil circulated safely.

Put 4 oz Seafoam or whatever fuel stabilizer in your gas tank.
If your just going to start it and leave it cold regularly, thats going to cause sludge.
