Strorage Procedures?

OK, I am going on a trip to Europe (Company Funded) and the ol Max will be sitting one to two months depending on the boss.

Here are some questions.

1) Full gas tank right? Should I add Stabil to the gas?
2) Oil Change (she is due anyway)
3) Put the car on jack stands or leave on ground? (thinking flat spotting my Pilot AS's)
--> If on jacks stands put on jack points or on actual suspension parts?
4) Washed and waxed with quilt on top.

Am I missing anything? Should I change anything in the above routine?

All advice appreciated.

Colonel

Will it be stored in a garage? If so a full tank of gas should be fine for a couple of months, try to top it off if possible. I think the tires will be fine but would check with a good tire shop. As far as yack stands I'd be afraid of stressing the frame to much. An oil change never hurts along witha good bath with a wax. Car cover... absolutely. I'd check with nissan to see if there is any special thing that needs to be done with the battery or computer. Good luck and have fun.
