what should I do if I leave my car for months
Hello people, I'm bout to out of States for 5 - 6 months, and I don't know what should I do with my Accord? Can I just leave in there for the whole time? what function of the car should I disable to park it for a long time. I mean, since I heard that if I park my car for a long period of time, the battery won't able to start. is it truth? so should I take the battery out of the car? Thank for any advices.

Do not leave you're car on ebrake because it will get stuck.
Disconnect the battery.
Get Stabil and pour the needed amount into your gas tank, make sure you run your car a bit, so that Stabil gets in your fuel system.
Tires will probaly be flat spotted, is it just sitting outside? garage? if in a garage, left your tires off the ground and put your car on jack stands.

Change the oil. Fresh new oil will be better for long-term storage (corrosion).
Put Stabil in the gas, but also fill the gas tank. The air-space ABOVE the fuel level is where it might corrode.
Pump the tires up all the way to the max-pressure on the sidewall of the tire (to help flat-spotting).
Where will it be stored? Mice & chipmunks love to crawl into the intake & chew up the air filter. Or sometimes chew up the wiring harness.
