Help: In storing car for long period
Hello mga tsikoters.
Hingi lang po ng suggestion in somehow can properly store my car better for a long time. Mga 1 year po
May car is Hondaa CR-V 2004 4x4 Automatic
Ngayon , naka lagay po sa loob ng bakuran in an open shed, medyo mauulanan yung gilid at maaarawan.
Things i did were, to have the car for a change oil. Pa vacuum ang loob at carwash pati ang pang ilalim with pressurized water, have the AC general cleaned, replaced evaporator driver and expansion valve and cabin filters.
At may nag bilin na po ako ng instruction sa katiwala na papa -start ang sasakyan twice a week for 10 - 15 minutes. Para ma circulate ang langis at fuel at ma charge ang battery, pati na rin yung aircon. The caretaker can't drive, at wala na ako ibang mapag katiwalaan para mag drive ng sasakyan. Pwede lang ako umuwi once every 6 months and take the car out for a drive.
Kung meron pa po kayong, maidadagdag. Ngayon balak ko na naka lift yung gulong (jack) para hindi ma deform.
Salamat po

Leaving a car for long periods of time:
- disconnect the battery (avoids discharging it)
- place the car on jack stands (avoids deforming the tires)
- place moisture absorbers inside the vehicle cabin & trunk (avoids moisture inside, minimizes molds and fungus growth)
- water proof car cover (avoid exposure to dust, sun and water)
- shaded parking space (less exposure to elements)
- vermin traps/poison-baits (prevent rats/mice from making your vehicle a home)
- drain fuel (E10 gasoline spoils in 4 to 6 weeks in the fuel tank. Just pour in fresh fuel when you get back)
- drain the radiator (or pour in fresh anti-rust fluid)
- replace the motor oil when you get back

I see, good to know. Btw, how about on cars used once or twice a month? Is there something special needed in storing it or while it is not being used?
Re: Help: In storing car for long period
not advisable yung "papa -start ang sasakyan twice a week for 10 - 15 minutes. Para ma circulate ang langis at fuel at ma charge ang battery, pati na rin yung aircon" dapat patakbuhin sa labas ng kalsada kahit once a week.

complete na ang tips sa iyo.....magsupot ka na lang ng uling(charcoal) sa cloth para sa dumpness para mura lang.
Pero da best bro benta mo na lang tapos pagbalik mo bili ka na lang kapag magtatagal kang mag stay. di ba betterer.

Agreed.
Given the TS' current lifestyle, he will not be around for a year and it seems he has no definite plans to stay in the country beyond a few short visits. In that kind of case, it would be better to sell the vehicle and just rent/hire/borrow a car when you are visiting the country.

Mahirap pala talaga or imposible pala talaga mag store ng walang maraming problema. Ang problema ko lang mga sir, matagal na kami walang sasakyan, hassle talaga pag uuwi ka. Walang masakyan, sa probinsya namin tricycle ang ang main public means of transportation. Merong rent-a-car service pero walang self drive. And yung bahay namin is more than 30 kilometers away from the city proper with mix paved, gravel, tarmac at pag rainy season, mud (parang rally) kaya po 4x4 kaya baka mahirapan sa rent a car. Marami nmn options, like bibili ng bahay sa malapit, pero ganun din wala pa ring sasakyan :)
Storing a car is what I really wanted, I am aware of the options and considered it. Naisip ko rin kung meron lang kami kamag anak na pwede pagka tiwalaan, sa kanila namin iiwan ang sasakyan, bsta wag lang lalaspagin pero wala. Selling it is not an option for me. My only choice is to store a car to the best possible condition. Hope you understand :)

Re: Help: In storing car for long period
I plan it to store for 1 year and a few months.
1.) fill fuel tank
2.) change oil & filter
3.)clean interior, make sure carpet & mats are completely dry
4.) parking brake off, 5spd in reverse, auto in Park - no reason why? just do it!!
5.)block the rear wheels
6.) if car is to be stored for a longer priod, it should be supported by jackstands
7.) leave one window slightly open if stored indoors
8.) disconnect battery
9.) support front wiper blades with a folded towel or rag so they do not touch the windshield
10.) apply silicone spray lube to all door and trunk seals (to avoid sticking)
11.) cover the car with a "breathable" cover
12.) if possible run the engine periodically, once a month

Hi sirs. How about for rat protection? I’m thinking to put a rat killer or just use mothballs/other natural remedy to keep rats away by placing it below the car? Thanks in advance
