Guys, if i need to leave my car for a week without drive.

Should I get my wife start the car to warm up like 5 minutes, then off. Maybe every 3 days?
or Leave it as it is.

Is the battery will be ok, if I leave 1 week without drive?

Actually it depends on your batt condition, I would rather suggest not taking risk and warm up once after 7-8 days, at least 15-30 minutes. Not so good for engine and environment but definitely beats your battery risk kong out when you want to drive your car when you're back. My city tends to last over 2 weeks without restart but Civic and Accord batt kong out after 7 days at times (happened a few times liao). PE never tried more than 7 days tho.
*
So you advice to warm up...like 15 minutes? Cos my wife dunno how to drive. So the most is ask her to start the engine the wait 10 minutes, and off.

Does it help?

Haiyo, 5 minutes to set back your clock and radio better than battery kong, right?

Well...is u compare like this of course is better than buying new battery, but if disconnect also means my Alarm is disable, which is high risk for me where park at condo car park.

2 weeks no need remove batt terminal lar....2 months maybe lar...

Like Shelby said 2 weeks still might be ok. My City no prob but there is always a small risk if your batt condition is not at optimum.

As for batt leakage, I wouldn't know...coz it HAPPENED to both Civic and Accord. Maybe some electronic parts in those cars consumed batt more than usual.

Based on my exp, 10 minutes too short, not warm up enuf to eliminate moisture in engine. Ideally 30 minutes is better for engine warmup but I think 15 minutes is sufficient to retain minimum charges to start car. Theory only tho...I practice that.

Ya, let's hope so rclxms.gif .

Last time my Wira I did left for 1 month, again ask my wife to start once a week. Wait until the temperature up then switch off. And when I back is thumbup.gif but that is wet battery-lah, not new also.

Now is MF battery, I hope cant last for 1 ~ 2 weeks too.

Brake oil if the recommended change period is not 20K.

Ehm,..I wonder so, even Coolant they want me to change at 10k. I refuse to change that time.

The SC ppl say, they din follow the Booklet, they follow 'their own standard' which I'm not sure is from Proton or not.... biggrin.gif

But the brake oil I notice will overflow a bit from the cover, which I guess is ok. Because I monitor few months, the level remain the same, just from time to time, I clean the oil mark, then will see it again...

ya, is not close down. Just temporary close, they put the cone on the entrance of the station. Then Monday open back as usual, some where Jalan Tun Razak.

In case the tank is empty, then Esso no petrol....then no choice also got to go for others already.
