If a car is left undriven(sp) for months, I asume the battery will die and tires would get used to being in that position causing minor flat surface right?

Would it do any harm if car is turned on every 2 weeks, driven around the block 1 time and then park it again?

What about oil changes? This car will not be driven for about 6 to 8 months.

What is your guys advise? New oil change before leaving it parked?

Now #1. About driving the car once every 2 weeks. That's good for the car. other wise things start rusting and plus the gas will go bad after awhile if it sets. I personally have an 2000 Honda Odyseey. I bought it as a "family car" I use it strightly on the weekends or if my 94 Accord or my wife's 98 Contour goes down.My Accord is pretty much my work car. However on the weekends if I have to run errands or run over to a buddies I get out the minivan. so probably a week I only drive it 50-60 miles unless I go somewhere as a family.
#2. now oil changes, I recommend every 3-4 months having the oil changed. either take it the Honda dealer or if you know how to do it yourself. do it yourself.
#3. With the battery. You have 3 choices. first let the battery run dead and charge it before you get it out. second choice is to pull the battery. last option(my buddy does this with his 4-wheeler and believe or not it works) when you back or park the car(or whatever ride you have) after it's parked jack it up, put wood blocks under the wheels. I guess somehow it grounds out the electric. it seems to work so whatever.
Good luck man.

 

Driving the car every 2 weeks will be good for it. I'd wait on the oil change until you get back and start daily driving again.

 

Uhh....no. I disagree.

1) Don't drive it. Change the oil/filter, fill the gas tank full, inflate the tires to the maximum pressure, and park it. Driving it every 2 weeks for such a short period of time (around the block) will leave unburned fuel in the oil, and can cause damage to the crankcase if the contaminated oil just "sits."

2) Change the oil and filter before storing it. Then leave it. Change it again when you're ready to drive it if you desire.

3) Perform the maintenance on the battery (i.e. top-off cells) prior to storage. Then periodically, grab a battery charger and charge it. Otherwise, I'd simply disconnect the negative battery cable and hope for the best.
