| Agreed with @chucktobias those things are horrible. My mechanic friend ranted abut how hard they are to work on, and how bad of a car in general. I would like to say you could fix it up enough to sell it, but you may be in it for more than you expect real quick. Take the Tacoma and learn to drive a stick would be my suggestion. | |||||

| Again ... only if you suffer from corrosion. I never get any. I don't need any grease. never mind the time. Watch the temperature gauge. It needs to reach full operating temperature. 198F or whatever it normally runs at. Once it reaches this temperature, it should stay there a while. At least 10 minutes. but then you're stuck with a full tank of old gas. Just leave whatever is left in there. Just carry on with your normal schedule. There's no point putting fresh oil in an engine then letting it sit drive it you're overthinking it. it's only 5 months. I parked my car in an open field for a year. Aside from the mouse nest in the air box it was fine. Just enjoy your holidays. | |||||

| Okay so I have a FJ Cruiser that is usually parked in the garage during the rainy winter months. I never take the battery out; I attach a trickle charger to it and it has always worked. I will up the gas tank with the regular gasoline I always use for the car. In general I change the oil on that car every 5k or once a year whichever comes first and it has nothing to do with storing it or not. I turn it on once a month and let it run for a while until it reaches operating temperature. I take it out the garage and then back in making sure the next time it's sitting on a different spot of the tires. I've had the car since 2014 and have always done this with zero issues. I would suggest you do not do this because usually devices like this if not installed properly will interfere with the car electronics and that is not a good idea. | |||||

| In addition to the above:- increase tire pressure to 3 bar or so, to avoid flat spots.- to minimize temperature flutuations-related stresses on hoses, some also locker the radiator cap just very slightly for it to become untight. Just dont forget to tighten it afterwards.- for a healthy disconnected fully loaded car battery, 4-5 months is a duration it can live without any trickle charge (provided that you charge it afterwards).- if your car is left stored due to your absence, you might not be able to drive it regularily. In such cases fanatics like myself install remote starter devices, which would allow you to start your engine and let it run for some time even while you are away. Such electronic devices are not that expensive. | |||||
