whats up everyone? I've been away from home now for about 4 months, My S has been sitting in my garage (condo 1 car garage if that makes any difference).
I'll be home from deployment around June. I followed winter storage tips. The only things I'm going to do differently is buy a new battery, new air filter, New oil, trans, and differential fluid. Will this all be ok to change before the initial start up ? As far as rust issues go, will I have any major problems with my pads sticking to the rotors? I never really have the issue of them sticking because my garage actually remains a comfortable temperature year round, I've also never let it sit for this long either.
I've read that pulling the Fuel pump fuse and letting it turn over a few times will help build oil pressure and lubricate some of the moving parts inside. I just want to make sure since my car will have been sitting for 6 months and I am some what nervous. Any experience or info from any locals will help put my mind at ease. Sorry for the paragraph, thanks guys.

 

Sounds good. I don't think you would need a new air filter but it never hurts to replace it.
Did you store it with a full tank of gas? Either way, baby the car until the fuel light comes on, then refuel.
Check for flat spots on the tires (if you stored it on the ground) if there are flat spots, you may need to replace them. 6 months shouldn't cause a problem though.

 

I filled up the gas tank and also put fuel stabilizer even though some people said it was not necessary. I took the tires off of the car and laid them on top of each other in a stack with carpet in between each tire.
