I'd add that the critical thing is oil condition. Make sure the oil is well up to temperature for a while when you do start it so it can turn water into vapor that goes out through the AOS and thence to the exhaust pipe. Getting everything hot is also good for the exhaust and cats. My rule was 3k limit and gentle until warm, them a period of 5k+ after I was sure everything was totally warm.

And consider twice yearly oil changes. Yes I know that will mean very few miles per change. But it is essentially flushing the system to rid it of contaminants so the bearings don't sit in them.

Mine semi-hibernated for 3 months where it might be not driven for a week or more but when it did come out to play it generally went 20 miles to work and back. And all I did was park it hot, cover it, park it outside and use a battery maintainer.
