Every other type of measurement is in engine hours. Boats, pumps, motors etc. are all measured with run time not storage time. Something to remember is if you keep your car stored in a tempature that stays the same and is a dry or dryer climate then you can stretch your time of oil changes. If it gets hot and cold cycled often you will have a little bit of moisture build up but you should start the car and let it get up to operating temp atleast every other week to ensure the seals don't dry rot on you and you don't get hard spots in the tires. That is my 2 cents worth.
