Default Storing my Car for 15 months.

I will be storing my car on the 24th as i am deploying and i will be gone for about 15 months. I was wondering what i would need to do to it. I did a search and this was the best i could come up with.

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2053810

I was wondering what the consequents for not doing some of the things on that list would be.

It will be stored inside a building and i have the crappy stock half bald tires with bent steelies on it right now. What would i need to do to be able to drive my car out of storage? Does that link posted above pertain to our cars as well?

Thanks for all the help\.

out it on jack stands with liek NO gas in it. disconnect battery car cover. if you can drain all oils with a flush of the intire system. then they wont go bad. give ti a good wahs iside and out and a hard core wax to keep fresh paint. lock the doors and kiss it goodbye

get the best california car cover you can buy, with the lock to protect it, have a family member watch it safely, like mom, and wish and kiss good bye as stated!

lol what a good friend...

So far ima buy me a car cover put in some fuel-stabe and hope for the best. They start the cars every once ina while at the lot where im parking it at. They wont let us put the cars on jack stands or disconnect the battery. O well....
