"Long" term storage

jshare1 · 12-23-2014, 06:09 PM

In a few months I will be parking my car at my dads garage. Metal two car garage, no heat. My car will be staying in there for 11 months and most likely wont be driven much, it will be started and warmed up weekly or at least bi-weekly. I plan on having maybe an exhaust done but other than that the car wont go much of anywhere. Is there any suggested pre storage prep suggestions. Last time I stored a car for only 4 months and did dryer sheets and used ethanol free gas. The Z I care more about so whats the suggested prep.
Searched for some other threads but came up dry. Sorry if this is a repost/ wrong area.

Really I think you'd be ok with a battery tender, put the car up on blocks, dryer sheets inside, and a good fuel stabilizer. What I would pay more attention to is when you come back to start driving it again, oil change before you start it and check the belt is still in good shape, I would almost take the belt off to be honest once it's parked.
