As some of you guys may know already, Im going overseas for two months in another 2 weeks However this means that I wont be able to drive my FTO for 2 months
I know that I should disconnect my car battery before I leave, but is there anything else I should do to my car before I go. I dont want to come back and have problems with my car. Will having my battery disconnected for so long affect my ECU in any way??
I don't know if this is true, but i heard that the best way to keep an engine in good condition when not driving it for ages is to completely fill the engine with oil, all the way.
This would prevent any rust or anything building up in the engine, where the is no oil because it has drained to the bottom.
Can anyone confirm?

leaving the battery disconnected for that period will reset the ECU in your car, so when you come back the car will have to 're-learn' your driving style again.
have fun buddy, behave yourself aiiight? :D We want lots of photos (with FTOs if possible haha...) and if you're gonna be in UK, see if you can meet up with our fellow Pommie counterparts
Yeah have fun Brendon, like mikey said, we expect lots & lots of pics (epecially cars & chicks ehehehehe)
But then again, it would be better if you get lots & lots of FTO aftermarket's parts for us hehehee

best thing would be to give it the weekly drive by some family member or trusted friend, or at the least turn on the ignition and leave it for a few minutes and rev it a few times...
or is this just an old wife's tale

Thanks guys for the advice. I will try and take as many pics of FTO's and more importantly pics of Chicks when Im in Europe! I will be going on a huge shopping spree when I go to Hong Kong. I have allocated four days on buying Rice stuff for my car!! I will probably have the Riciest FTO in Melbourne when I come back..
