not using your car...

**pdc2** · July 18th, 2003 05:08 PM

guys,

I will be out of the country for 4 weeks and walang gagamit ng car ko...wala rin pwede mag-start every morning...ok lang ba sa engine yun? also, di kaya ma-oblong yun tyres ko?

thanks for your feedbacks.

when i went out of the country for a month before, wala ring gumamit ng car ko, at wala ring nag-start, pero nung pagbalik ko, ok naman.

as to the tires, di naman sila ma-oblong.

tanggalin mo lang yung battery terminals para sure.

if paranoid you could also get a set of jackstands to lift your tires off the ground.

wag mo tanggalin yun battery terminals, e di wala na alarm.

ok lang yan, ako every month din umaalis, 1 month din ako wala. ok lang naman battery saka tyres.

ang masama kung gaya nung sa friend ko, vr4 na galant e sa condo nakatira sa may likod lang ng shangrila. e di lakad lang nila ang megamall etc. so minsan 6 months nya di ginamit kotse yun palit sya ng gulong at nag-crack na yung rubber hehehe. ngayon naka jack stands na. di pa rin nya ginagamit kaya kahit na 5 yrs old na kotse nya di pa umabot ng 20,000 kms! sabi ko nga bilihin ko na lang e hehehe, ayaw naman.

1 month is OK...
- change the oil and filter (if it hasnt been done recently) so there wont be muich dirt and sludge inside to settle.
- top up on gas before you leave it.
- You may not have to jackstand the car but fill up on air to around 33-35psi cold (and make sure tehre are no leaks).
- It would also be a good time to wash and wax before you leave the car. Clean the interior and engine bay as well.
- put some rat poison also in the area near the engine bay or in your garage to prevent the rodents from building a nest in your car
