[QUOTE="black4vcobra, post: 13395672, member: 82394"] This, but of course it's going to be tough to leave a car in one spot outside for 3 years. If you have to drive it regularly, I'd say drive it once a month to get it up to operating temps. Change the oil once a year, non ethanol fuel with Stabil in it. Disconnect the battery between those monthly drives, keep the mice out, and get the best car cover possible to keep the sun out. Put a piece of plywood under the car which will absorb morning dew, but make sure that the plywood if off the ground otherwise it will just be a sponge. Also, when starting up each month, you could pull the fuel pump fuse and turn the motor over to circulate oil without the car starting, then replace the fuse to start the car. You are a good friend to take car of his car for 3 years! [/QUOTE]
