My car has not been started for four months. I'm worried that if I get the battery charged and fire it up the engine might seize. Advice before I try to start the car?

First check all your fluid levels. Then drain the gas and replace with fresh gas. Next disconnect the coil and crank the engine for a few seconds for the engine to be oiled, then reconnect and let her run, cars can sit for 4 years and not seize up when started again.

I have a truck in another country and I only go 1 time a year so it sits there for a year or more but every time it starts right up and I dont do anything to it lol4 months I dont think anything bad can happen. The only thing is it might be a little rough at first but when it warms up it will run good.
