Well , experience told me that "must" run the car within 2-3 days interval even-though you not really used it ,  to let the battery and those engine oil keep running smooth .

I got a honda stream 05 last time kena engine kong because of the engine lubricant viscosity fail and my wife didnt notice out , the main reason is we rarely use the car and let it standby mode week by week  doh.gif

Remember what the manufacturer maintenance schedule...
3 months or 5000 km for oil change....

So even if you don't drive... u still suppose to follow the time based maintenance,
especially true for rarely driver car.

Instead of 3 months, you can probably do like 6 months for every oil change if you rarely use.
