Keep a lighter oil (synthetic 0W-30 is perfect) in the engine so startup lube is fast and film strength good to limit wear. Change the antifreeze every two years if the car mostly sits. Flush brake fluid. Wax the exterior throughly and treat the rubber and plastic trim and dashboard with Formula 303 (get it at Bliss Marine) for UV protection. Use a sunshade in the windshield and treat the leather seats regularly. Oil all body points including locks with top quality spray oil. Keep it gassed up.
