Storing Car for a Few Months -- Recommendations

[glendive]

Hi all:

First-time car owner (2022 Stinger GT-Line). Anticipate leaving the car in our garage for a few months while away. (Large underground garage under our South Florida condo building.)

Planning to follow the guidelines found in articles like this one at the J.D. Power website: "How to Store a Car Long Term" (store in garage, clean car, cover, top off tank, oil change, use chucks instead of emergency break, add STA-BIL).

What are your thoughts on using STA-BIL Storage Fuel Stabilizer? Any other recommendations or trips?

Thanks in advance!

remove or disconnect battery if you can't connect a battery maintainer

I've used stabil when storing motorcycle for 5-6 months. If you're going to use it, use the marine grade, it's better.

Disconnecting the battery is a good idea if you can't connected a battery tender.

Maybe add a few more psi to the tires too...

I use Stabil also especially I have E in my tank and keep it full. Check your tires and have a battery maintainer.

Ethanol tends to absorb moisture, so gotta keep that fresh.

Always fresh and always keep the tank full. I’ve been doing this with my E92335i and Audi.

literally just 2 things.

• fill the fuel tank to the tippity top
• flip the switch to "OFF"

When you revive the vehicle

• flip the switch to "on"
• enjoy
