Pulling the car out of storage
Wednesday, June 27, 2012 7:55 AM
Car has been sitting since October of last year.
Any pointers on things to go over?

Tires
Oil
Coolant
Lube Points
Belt
Fresh Gas

Anything else?

Make sure your battery is good... and run some fuel stabalizer/cleaner with the first tank or two

I personally feel better fogging the cylinders, and cranking the motor over with out the plugs in to build up oil pressure, but most would say that is over board....

I did get the chance to run the car for about 20 minutes a month ago so I'm not awfully worried about that.

Check your spare tires psi! Most often overlooked and summer heat you could have a flat and need your spare and they do go down over time.I checked mine and wifes car and both were low a wk ago.Check all your lights and flashers etc bulbs can go at anytime even sitting over time first use they can blow out.My only suggestions and make sure your wiper blades did not dry out.
