Any important steps in taking car out of storage?
I'm planning on taking the g out of storage this week.
I stored it since roughly October 15 for personal reasons and knowing winter was around the corner.
anyways,
is there anything i should do when i take it out?
is it recommended to get an oil change?

I always check fluids, tire pressures, charge battery and then start it up and go for a ride. After it's well warmed you can drain/change the oil & filter, getting the moisture and contaminants out.

I know a lot of guys like to put in fresh fluids before starting it up.
IMO its best to get a heat cycle into it to drive out any moisture, ....then change the oil.

Can't see the point of changing it before heating it up. I have done it that way before but switched many years ago to draining it hot. It won't drain and release moisture/contaminants as well when it is cold.
