- water proof car cover (avoid exposure to dust, sun and water)
- shaded parking space (less exposure to elements)
- vermin traps/poison-baits (prevent rats/mice from making your vehicle a home)
- drain fuel (E10 gasoline spoils in 4 to 6 weeks in the fuel tank. Just pour in fresh fuel when you get back)
- drain the radiator (or pour in fresh anti-rust fluid)
- replace the motor oil when you get back
