Start or don't start?

[rvtrcr]

My car is sitting in my garage due to the recall.. what's the word on start it once a or twice a week, or just leave it on the battery tender. My car gets pretty noisy until it builds oil pressure if left for more than 2 or 3 days without starting.

Don't start it..your car is fine .
My car is for 3-4 months in hibernation and on my CTEK battery tender in winter to avoid snow , ice and road salt ..
In summer I only drive it when the weather is nice and dry , so actually it's a garage queen ..
Never got problems , same thing with my battery because CTEK battery tender !

unless you plan on letting it run for 15-20 minutes, I'd let 'er sit.

I'm with this guy. If you aren't going to run it long enough for the fluids to come up to operating temp, I wouldn't bother starting it.

When it gets started, I do let it run until its up to temp.
