Default P-car storage for 90 days

I must store my 2003 C4 Cab for 3 months in order to manage a health issue of a relative.

I need advice on the best way to manage this issue.

I have had my 996 in storage for 3 month without having to do anything to it, not even a battery tender. it restarted no problem

may be inflate tires a little bit more to avoid flat spot, it you are in very hot weather but 3 months is no problem.

disconnect battery, put 2 layers of carpet or thick foam or something sturdy yet deformable under the tires, put a cover on it.

an old trick for pre-oiling a long-sitting motor is to hook a spare oil pump (like off an SBC) to a bucket of oil and to the oil filter port, pump it up with a drill or something and let er rip
