I have a 1995 Civic in my carport that I haven't taken out for nearly a year. We don't have extreme weather here, between 40 and 90 the entire year. The battery is dead, so I'll need to jump start it, but I'm worried about oil, etc. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Check all the fluids especially the gas. gas that sits for a while starts to get chunks and stuff. And a new battery.

charge the battery , disconnect the low voltage ignition wires so it won't start and crank it for 15 seconds wait a minute repeat3 or 4 times , this will get oil to the bearings etc. so that when you reconnect the little wires it should fire up without too much bearing damage, put some methyl hydrate in the gas and you should be good to go , warm her up and change the oil , fill it with premium and listen for dry wheel bearings , can those back ones be re-packed ? have fun

i agree just check all the fluids and get a new battery if the battery sat dead for a long time it might take a charge but it might leave you stranded too, if you plan on changing fluids i would start the vehicle up to circulate the fluids before draining any of them

Just get a new Battery, check everything over(like oil, water, ect.) but just in 1 yr everything should be just fine. If it sits more than 2, you have to work manually. Then start

drain all fluids including gas transmission etc. put all new ones in and a new battery dont jump it. the only fluids you dont have to drain are differential,and brake fluids
