I'd suggest fogging oil,but i dont know if it is sensor safe! and would smoke like nobodys buss. on start up! If at all poss. ask somebody you trust to take it for a short drive once a month, to keep all things lubed and prevent seals from drying out. I let my jeep sit for a year due to new ankle biter showing up unplanned (dont get me wrong i couldnt live without him), and only had put stabil in tank, but my tires had flat spots that drove me mad for a few hundred miles.
