[QUOTE="mike_b_svt, post: 10048507, member: 4601"] Personally, I would change the oil to full synthetic, and probably change it once a year minimum (just for degredation over time). As for starting it, I would - at a minimum - start it every 2 weeks like you are doing. Be sure to run it long enough for it to get up to operating temperature, and then another 5 minutes. This will help evaporate any moisture buildup. Ideally, you would have someone drive it around (like to work and back once or twice a month) instead of just starting it up - that way ALL the fluids, lubes and greases get moved around and warmed up. Of course, whoever drives it around might decide that they like it and end up putting more miles on it than you really want... :burnout: As for leakdown and compression; I wouldn't think that the seals will fail over that short a time. Heck, half the guys on here only use thier cars one season a year! [/QUOTE]
