Yes its been covered.. mutiple time. But since your new... Welcome!

1. Read the owners manual, it talks about storage.
2. I take my tires up to about 50-55 psi
3. I throw a bottle of gas stabilizer in the tank before my year end fill up.
4. Some guys change the oil before storing
5. Some guy wash and wax before storing
6. Once stored, leave it that way... do not start it up until your ready to pull it our of storage. Turning it over and running every couple of weeks just burns gas, builds up soot and water vapor in the exhaust.
7. I leave the battery hooked-up with no charger, then again, my battery is not prone to dis-charging.
8. I leave the car un-locked.... no lock, no alarm, minimum battery drain.

Good luck
