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.

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!

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.
