How long has my car been sitting in my driveway?

How long has my car been sitting in my driveway?

It has sat in a driveway unmoved for about 4 years. It ran fine before and only has 55k miles on it along with brand new tires. It just has sat. What maintenance do i need to have done for the car to be road worthy? Battery is corroded so obviously i have to replace that and a oil change wouldnt hurt.

When was the last time you drove your car?

What’s important is that the last time you drove your car before putting it to sleep for five months is that you drove at least 15-18 miles on the highway, long enough to get the oil hot enough to stave off water vapor/condensation, which forms carbonic acid]

What should I do if my car has been sitting for 4 years?

Whatever oils and other fluids were in there have settled deep over time. They’re far from where they should be and they need to return and reabsorb & re-coat all the little cracks and crevices inside all those moving parts. Be patient and she’ll loosen up in time (probably by summer, when it counts).

How often should a car be driven to keep it from pitting?

You’d want to have it driven at least once a week to keep oil on the cylinder walls (to prevent the beginning of corrosion/pitting). That of course is the ideal.
