engine prep when sitting for a period of time

Post by J_Dub »

probably a bit late as its been about a year now but what should I be doing to the 3.8 to keep it lubed while its sitting over a period of time... would it be fine for another couple months?.. I havent dropped the sump yet so its still holding oil
