Get a new battery and fire it up, enjoy those glorious engine sounds

So after 7 years I don't have to worry about any fluids or anything? Shouldn't I at least squirt some oil into the cylinders or anything?

I get that these engines are bulletproof but damn.

>>16518041
replace battery
replace air filters
replace oil and brake fluid (power steering fluid and tranny fluid should be ok, but check levels)
thoroughly check all rubber parts (hoses, belts, dust sleeves in the suspension)
if the timing belt is old, replace it to be on the safe side

if it was in a garage (ie no rain), you should be good to go
make sure you check everything for leaks again after running it for a bit

if he put the parking brake on, the pads are likely rusted stuck so you'll have to pry them apart

Drain the engine oil and replace
Drain the coolant and replace
Drain the brake fluid and replace
DRAIN AND REPLACE EVERYTHING
Also swap the battery
Tires will be toast for sure
Swap the serpentine belt
Check the filters if there are by any case rodents in there (mice, rats, squirels, dog food...)

That means if he wants to daily it again. Otherwise, just crank it and drive it till it blows up.

The brake fluid accumulates moisture over time, which can boil if the brakes get hot, so you should replace it when you can.

Change the oil, retard.

First of all, get one spare battery, and a spare fuel pump. Check to see if the engine is free (if it's not stuck). The onboard diagnostics should tell you if there's some major shit wrong.

I'd also expect to have expenses on suspension parts, too.

>>16518041
If it ran out of gas, you'll have to fill/bleed the fuel line.

>>16518140
If it was parked indoors, I see no reason why he might need new suspension parts, aside maybe from rubber sleeves.

Change the oil. Then see if it starts and runs
If it does then change all other fluids.

>>16518041
It it ran out of gas the fuel pump is likely fucked.

>>16518094
>timing belt
It's a chain you scrub

Its actually good yhat he ran it out of fuel. Add a couple gallons of premium and a bottle of injector cleaner, charge the battery and give it a crank. Once you know It'll run, let it warm up and keep an eye on everything while its idling. If sounds good, change oil/filter, coolant and profit.

also film it and post results

To be fair some of these are not uncommon to the car anyways.

ohh also the serpentine belt I did right off, after about 300 miles of driving it had chunks ripped out of it

>>16518041
Change your friend. Why the hell are you hanging around this fuck?

>>16518107
how many miles can i drive it before it blows? can i transport to my house near by?

You'll be fine if you let it warm up first to make sure it doesn't overheat or seriously fuck up inmediately. Like most guys have said probably batteries and an oil change before it moves to your house then other fluids and filters right off. Changing all that will give you a pretty good chance to inspect random bits of rubber that might be hurt in the car. When you do the coolant flush I'd probably just pull the radiator to see if it's all rotted out. It probably needs an inspection sticker anyways so just take it to the nearest shop and they'll probably point out somethings you can do yourself way cheaper.
