Start a 2006 Nissan Maxima dormant for 5 years
I have a 2006 Nissan Maxima SL
Not used/parked for over 5 years
History:
Owner stopped using because she couldn’t afford to replace tires
4 completely flat tires
I want to see if it will start and run
Battery dead but can charge it to light up panel
Panel lights up engine/oil etc lights
Here’s my plan:
Get a fluid extractor and
a. Remove gas;
b. Remove transmission fluid;
c. Remove coolant;
d. Remove oil;
e. Remove brake fluid;
f. Remove power steering fluid.
Add in ...
... all the above referenced fluids based on the amount the manufacturer states each should contain.
Install cheapest battery I can.
TRY TO START IT.
If it starts, then I’ll buy the tires.
Any other ideas?
