There's many different opinions on this subject. I agree idling the car isn't ideal. it will move the pistons/springs and circulate oil, but you really need to get the oil hot enough to drive out any condensed moisture. Many seasonal engines, race cars, jet skis, get "fogged" before winter storage. It's an oil sprayed into the intake of a running engine just before shutdown, but I wouldn't do that on a street car with a MAF sensor! I've never done this one my Formula Ford, which sits for about 7 months a year, and never had a problem. (though I probably should!).
