2010 SS coming out of 3 year storage
 
I was overseas for 3 years and had the 2010 Camaro SS M6 placed in storage for 3 years. I was able to drive it around for about a week every summer though. The rest of the time it was parked in a normal, non temp controlled storage unit, on a tarp, placed in neutral with no parking break, stabil fuel stabiler, full tank of gas, under a car cover, with the battery disconnected. It has about 60k miles on it.

What all should I do when I take it out of the 3 year storage besides change the oil, oil filter, wash/wax, and air filter? The tires are continental extreme dws and haven't noticed any flat spots on them the past two summers.

:thanks:

If it was me, I'd do all you've said, plus check the coolant to see if it's still good (clean, anti-corrosive properties, etc). Keep a close eye on all the hoses and other rubber parts. I'm sure it still feels like a new car to you, but it is going on seven years old! Wish you the best of luck!

:burnrubber: That must be a great feeling man!

I'd be taking a cruise around the country!

why would you have to replace the air filter? Check anything thats rubber, change oil, How old is the coolant? if its over 4 years id replace it. Id have the battery tested. 3 years sitting in the cold not being charged probably damaged it if it has a charge at all.

Change Every fluid.
Replace the battery.
Drain the gas tank.

Check the tire pressure but most likely you will have flat spots.
