Default Car Storage - Specific Question..

Is it better to start my car and let it run or simply not start and let it sit.

I have fuel stabilizer in the tank and fuel lines, and will change the oil first day it's on the road.

Just curious which is a better practice to do. I'm also charging the battery periodically.

There is a sticky thread about storing the Z. No fuel stabilzer, no starting the car, get the tires on a mat. Get a battery tender or unplug your battery. Filled the gas tank, inflate the tires a bit higher than 35psi. That's what i remembered. But read that thread and you see what other people do.

How long are you planning on storing your car?
I've found its better to start&run the car periodically than
let it sit.If you are talking about leaving your car unattended
for several months,then I'd add air to the tires,run some fuel
stabilizer through the engine(I use Stabil),disconnect the battery
or have a trickle charger attached to the battery.If your storage
is a longer term,I'd put the car up on jack stands.
