Anybody have any suggestions besides using the car cover since I've never done this before ?

It'll probably be fine as is. If you're paranoid, pour in some fuel stabilizer. Maybe disconnect the battery if you want, don't think that's necessary either.

You give your keys to a buddy tht can start it for you once in awhile. Sigh, I guess I could spare some time EVERY day to ensure car is running at peak performance

So where are you going?

You can make sure you have a full tank of fresh Shell premium but beyond that I don't really think much is necessary as its only for 6 weeks or so. Certainly cars at the dealership sit that long. I park mine for the entire winter but take additional steps as its a longer duration (4 or so months)...

U should be fine Nick, I sometime only start my car once every 3-4 weeks in winter months to circulate the fluids & charge the battery. No problem at all.

R u going back to BKK for the holidays?

If you start the car, make sure you let the temps reach normal operating levels before shutting it off. Good habit.

dont worry man last time i went back to bkk for 3 months I just disconnected the battery and put full tank of gas and gave her a nice wash

we are going to go party in bkk hahaha

Do nothing? Youre gone for 6 weeks, I can hold a poo for longer than that.

natman316

thats pretty impressive man! i cant even do 6 minutes

Fill the tank(REALLY IMPORTANT) so that no condensation forms, then pour in some STA-BIL. If you can, a battery tender, but it's not necessary

If the car is left in the same place without moving for too long, the tires can come out of their normal circular / round shape which may make the car feel a little different while driving. If you experience that, put 50PSI in the tires to let them fill out the shape again and then move back down to standard PSI temps. Not always necessary but sometimes it can happen.

CoolBDPhenom03

True, but I don't know if a few weeks would do that.

Thanks for the input guys Yes Tim, Meng I'm going back to Bangkok for holidays

Just disconnect the battery

DuaneC63

Don't disconnect the battery just put a cigarette lighter trickle charger on it. You may also consider tire pads that you drive onto which prevent flat spots on your tires from sitting in one place too long. Other than that you should be OK.

I've spent just 2.5 wks in hk so far and I miss my house, car and toilet so damn much already

We're definitely blessed with our humble dwellings in n.a.

6 weeks is nothing. Even if you don't do anything you'll be fine

Swoody

As someone that has done this with every vehicle I've owned (I work in Alaska on a 2 month on/off rotation). I put sta-bil in with a full tank of fuel, harden the tires up to 50psi or so to prevent flat spotting, and put a trickle charger on it. Then cover it up as you will be surprised how she looks after sitting for a month and a half...even in your seemingly clean garage. It makes no sense to start it up every week or so as the temperature of your oil will never hit the optimum lubrication point and you just causing undue wear on the engine. I've done this on everything from Porsche Turbo's to Aston Martins and never had an issue with any car I've owned.

jesus, you guys sound like you're preparing a boat for the winter months. lol

lyyca

I've left my car undriven for about a month and car covered only. I did none of the above as what others are suggesting. I probably should in the future. So far no issues.
