Neglecting my poor Solara :(
In a couple months i'm going to be driving to Montgomery, Alabama which is about a 650 mile drive. After that, I'm going to be leaving it on the parking lot for 2-4 months without driving.
What's the best way to make sure it's in good condition when I get back to it I've been told that you shouldn't leave a car without driving for more than a week at a time. I'll probably need a jump, maybe?
I'm not sure if I'll be able to even start the engine and let it idle but I might be.
Is it a good idea to get an oil change immediately before and immediately after? Keep a full gas tank? Anything else? Is it even a good idea to idle it if it's possible?
