I'm on a 3 week vacation and I'm wondering how my car will hold up since I have no one starting and running the engine on ocassion. Will it mess up my engine to drive after so long?

 

oh god, the pistons will shoot through the engine hood because it didn't run for 21days, omg omg omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111111111oneon eoneoneoneoneoneone

the first thing you need to do when you get back is pull the intake manifold and rebuild the engine just to be on the safe side.

 

Dude, you made a big mistake leaving it alone for 3 weeks. You're going to have to part it out when you get home. Sorry, man.

 

you know what they say. if you dont use it, you lose it

 

naw just change the oil

 

You set yourself up for a big flame on this one. Yes after three weeks the car will disentegrate and you will have to buy a new one. It will no longer exist, much less start. Oh for F#@# sake.

 

lol damn fellas .... naw man nothing should happen engine wise... just dont hope some one really hates you and decides to give a going away present... 3 dosen eggs on your G isnt a pretty site... trust me I KNOW

 

lol

great

 

G32082 is a party pooper

 

man you guys are cruel! You should be fun, just change the oil when you get back.

Find a friend (or a company that provides this service) who will drop by your house at least once a day to feed it, water it, and generally check up and play with it. This is the least traumatic method for the car since it will stay in familiar territory and has the added bonus of your house looking occupied. Check to make sure that the professional service you use is bonded, and interview the person beforehand. Check references that they supply.

Be prepared for the car to pee in the driveway as they do suffer from seperation anxiety.

 

Izmir,

I trust that your car is parked indoors. You should be fine. Have a great vacation!

 

nope, it's outside, don't have the luxury of a garage. i was just wondering if i had to let the engine run for a little because of all the fluids settling. thanks for the reassurance and advice from supporters. I'll be getting an oil change for my 3750 service a few days after i get back.
for you flamers...flame on @$$holes

 

Now, we're just playing with you IZ, I wonder the same thing about my truck that I hardly drive any more. I start it up about once a week to get the fluids moving and move it once in a while to rotate the tires.
I don't know if it is necessary but it can't hurt.

 

LOL, the flamers are just having some fun bro.......

Your ride should be fine, as long as nobody touches it.....Have a good vac.
