i parked my car in storage for since the 11th of may and will be getting it out on the 18th of aug so i wanna know do i need to change the oil or something im not sure cause and i had like half a tank of gas in there will the car be affected in any way someone with experience please no sarcasm

 

It should be fine, if it was stored in ideal conditions. Nothing should be wrong with the oil since it was just sitting in the oil pan and 2 month old gas isnt a prob. Once you start it you probably will get some smole initially, Maximas are known for doing that after sitting a while.

 

thanks a lot for the reply how about other key components will they be affected

 

It may feel kinda bumpy at first like the alignment is f#cked but thats just because the tires get missed shaped it usually returns to normal within a 100miles.

 

Yeah...using a jack or a jack stand and takig the weight off the wheels might be a good idea. It's a pain when the tires go off shape.

 

A strategy for a car that hasn't been started for while is to crank the engine but not let it start. This gets the oil circulating. Then on the second try, let it start. I dunno how your battery is doing after two months, but my family has a van we hardly use, and it sits for months at a time. We charge the battery up before starting it up, and use the crank but not start method (I think I heard it from Cartalk). Van starts up like a dream each time.

 

thanks guys really appreciate it and anymore advice would be good

 

Changing the oil may not be a bad idea if you are not using a synthetic oil. Normal oil degrades when it sits. Two months isn't really a big deal but if the oil had been in for a while before you stored the car I would change it. Its an easy and cheap thing to do. I would also get some STP water remover for the fuel and refill the tank. The moisture in the air in the tank will condense and water (a small amount in two months) can build up in the tank.

I you are going to store the car again try this. Fill it up to reduce the amount of air in the tank and put the car on jackstands to take the weight off the tires. Make sure to support the front of the car under the control arm close to the wheel to keep the suspension compressed. Support the rear under the beam.

 

By the way I stored my car for three months and I had no problems at all when I got back.

 

thanks guys advice really comes in well
