Re: Storing a 2005
I would change the oil before putting it in storage, and then again once you are done storing it.Having dirty oil in the crankcase isn't good when a vehicle sits around for long periods of time. Byproducts of combustion in the oil form acids and other harmful substances which can cause damage to internal engine components. When you plan on taking the vehicle out for it's monthly exercise, make sure the engine gets up to operating temperature and stays there for awhile. This prevents a buildup of combustion byproducts as they will get burned up by a warm engine. This is a problem in colder regions where a vehicle may be started and run for a short time, never getting up to full operating temperature, such as frequent short trips.
Also make sure rodents can't get into the vehicle and cause issues by their eating or nesting habits.
