Default RSX has not been driven regularly. How to make it a DD again.

Just getting my license back, its been a little over 1 year. The car has only been driven like once a month. For the last 5 months I put fuel stabilizer in the gas tank, unplugged the battery so it wouldn't drain from the alarm. I will be driving my car from Temecula to San Diego (55 miles). Before I do this what is the best and safest way for me to get my car back up on the go to become a daily driver.

My plan was to just shift under 3k for 2 weeks. Oil change. Check tire pressure. Thats about it.

thanks to all who help me out!

I would do what you said. Stay out of vtec until you change the oil/fill the tank, let it warm up, etc. You can baby it for 300 miles or so.
