My Car Has Been Packed For 4 Months- What To Do Before Starting It Up Again by steveyen(m): 9:44am On Nov 11, 2016 |
Folks, I have been outta town for over 4 months now. My car has been parked for those months, though I removed the battery. Please is there anything I need to do before starting the car again? Just afraid if i turn the ignition something might go wrong having being parked for such number of months. I will appreciate your nuggets on this. Thanks all in advance. 1 Like 1 Share |

Ha! Did you say 4 months You better call TB Joshua, Adeboye, Oyedepo and the rest to rain prayers on it before entering the car. It's possible that Awon aye has been doing meeting on it. 19 Likes 5 Shares

Just do the normal checking, start your it's good to run but, it you which to change the oil you have to start the engine drive it around for few minutes so all the oil can drain on when you want to do so. Good luck. |
