My 1994 XJS (v12) has not been started for almost 2 months now. Are there any special precautions I should take prior to cranking the engine? Should I change the oil first? If I expect this to happen again, is a preluber worth installing? What part of the engine will the preluber help, if any.
thanks

Changing oil nver hurts. I would not say two months is a long time not to run a car though. Some say remove the plugs and give each cylinder a squirt of oil. I am sure others have ideas of what to do and not to do. Whichever way give it a full low rpm warm up.

I think prelubers pump oil around the engine and if so it would not hurt but again I really don't see two months as that extreme. New cars on a lot can sit longer than that.
