As the title says, im starting my car for the first time in 6 months. When i put it away it had all new fluids (mobil 1: oil, tranny fluid, rear diff oil, fresh 93 octane gas). Is there any precautions before i start her up? How can I prime the engine with oil without stating? Can i pull the fuse for the ignition and crank it over for a bit? I just dont want to cause any undo wear on the motor.

 

I just started mine up without reving and let it sit for a couple of minutes idling before going into the throttle....

My 93Z sat for 7 1/2 months and no problems..... Got to love deployments...

 

mine sat for about 3 months...it smoked a little bit for about 10 minutes when i first started it, took it for a drive, got it back, and, no more smoke. Think it mighta just been burning off some old gas on the plugs or something, idk?

 

6 months is nothing. Just fire it up and let it warm up to temp just to make sure everything is ok with it (no leaks, overheating, etc).

 

should I change my oil? I just changed it (with mobile 1) before I put it away. Maybe drove 100 miles on it.

 

I would just start it up and let it warm up. As for the oil, personally, I would change it. With the car being idle for six months, there is the possibility for moisture getting into the oil.

 

6 months is nothing.

just start it as usual. the oil should be alright, definatly let it get up to temp and keep it there for a while.
