MX-5 Storage

Topic starter

I store my 2016 Mx-5 in a storage unit for 6 months.  Is there any harm to the engine when starting the car as I had new oil changed when i put it away and a full tank of non ethanol gas.  Car is not on jack stands and left in neutral.  Thanks, Barnaby

Did you put Sta-Bil in the fuel?

All the stuff I've found on the inter-webs says non-ethanol gas shelf life is supposed to be 6 months. You're right on the ragged edge of the fuel going stale. So, the quality of your gas and tires that'll likely have flat spots since you left the car on the ground while stored are the 2 biggest concerns.

Cold starts are the hardest thing the engine does.

But what are you doing to do ... not start it?
