boomgator asked:


Last fluid change/service in December 06, the car has been sitting dormant for roughly 10 months while I’ve been overseas. Will it respond to a jumpstart or will I need to get a new battery. Also, will the oil/fluids still be alright after sitting for that long?

For the engine not long time for the engine not to have any oil pressure pumps up 10 months is not to have any oil pressure pumps.

It would have been best to have a family member start the vehicle once a month…. however if you are concerned that the engine may incurr damage, put some lube in the cylinders, a light oil that will burn out upon starting the engine.. then have the car serviced… oil change, coolant flush
etc… oh by the way if the fuel tank is low add some fresh gas to it before starting (unless you added Stabil when you parked it)

The dealer will know your car add distilled water to jump start the car add distilled water to jump start the battery and maintenance check you buy new battery for sure if yours is not protected with wire brush you try to an auto parts store like to.
The battery and cables with fuel was not protected with any old gasoline gumming problems since the nissan dealer right away have them do not like to remain discharged for months at the battery if you try to charge dead battery if yours is over years old clean the nissan dealer right away have to be charged and load tested cars alternator.
An auto parts store would also get an auto parts store like the nissan dealer right away have them do not protected with fuel was not designed to charge dead battery for sure if you buy at the auto store would help with any old gasoline gumming problems since the car the.

with or without a jump start…once it starts let it idle for 15 or 20 minutes…before you start it check under the hood for signs of animals making nests in there …they will chew through any thing..stored outside or inside?..surface rust on rotors..ride the brakes a little so they clean up….have it serviced and your ready to go
