Don't start the engine unless you are going to take it out for a 20-30 min. ride to get the engine up to normal operating temp. I let mine sit for almost two years without one problem. I use stabil in the fuel.
Mike, I'm not a mechanic. But, I have 8 cars (half are getting pretty old now) and I have all the cars started weekly and brought up to operating temperature. Since I started doing that, the cars have run so much better and no battery problems. I also have the air conditioners set low so when they are started, the compressor comes on too so that it is lubricated during the process.
Now, if he had a diesel, I could understand taking it for a drive but on a gas, the engines do come up to operating temp (in my case).
I have done this with these cars, new and old, and no problems.
The mechanic for my old car (the car is 50 yrs. old this year), said to start it twice a week but I've been on a once a week schedule since that's when my guy works for me.
MM.
