    Hyundai Hyundai Advice Hyundai Elantra Hyundai Elantra Advice Hyundai Elantra 2004
    I'M GOING to Queensland for four months and will leave my Hyundai Elantra in the carport for that period. I would appreciate any advice regarding steps to take to ensure the vehicle is stored correctly.

    THERE shouldn't be any problem leaving your car for that time. Ask a friend or neighbour you trust to start your car once a week and let it warm up, allowing the oil to run through the engine. It's a good idea to have the battery hooked to a trickle charger to keep it up to charge (letting it run down shortens its life), but that may be difficult to do in a carport. Likewise, I recommend leaving it under a cover, to protect it from the elements, but doing that can be a signal to burglars you aren't home.
