Hi all,
I'm getting ready for a unexpected trip, and is in need of storing my car for non-usage for at least 45 days. What should I do to prepare for this so that when I get back, I won't find any unexpected problems????

Im sure the battery needs to be disconnected. What else?

Pls advice. I must implement your advice in the next two days.
Much appreciated.

 

I'd use a Satbil in the fuel tank, after its completely filled, 1oz/Gal.
I use the tire cradles to minimize flatspots, a simple board will keep the tires off the concrete. I assume this is in a garage!!
Buy a battery Tender or something similar to keep batt fully charged.
make sure wheels have been cleaned, inside and out, of brake dust.
Put a cover on it, to keep dust and any prying eyes off of it.
Have a fun trip and don't worry about the car, these cars are pretty tough.

Let me come over and drive it everyday:-)

 

Full tank of fresh gas, wash and wax, battery tender and in a garage it will be fine. A little extra air in the tires will help prevent flat spotting, but 5-10 miles of driving will round them out again anyway.
60 days is no big deal except for the battery (tender is a must). Longer term storage is more involved.

 

I wouldn't worry about anything but the battery tender. I don't see the need to wash and wax or worry about the fuel, 45 days isn't that long.

Enjoy your trip.

 

Thks for all the inputs. What's a battery tender and where can I get it? typically on my other cars, i just disc the (-) cable and have been ok in the past.

 

I agree!
