A seldom-used vehicle should be started at least once every two weeks to keep the battery charged and the engine lubricated. This practice helps prevent issues such as battery drain, fuel degradation, and tire flat spots. Additionally, running the vehicle for about 15-20 minutes allows the fluids to circulate and helps maintain overall engine health. If the vehicle will be unused for an extended period, consider using a battery maintainer or taking other precautions.
