Sorry if this isn't the appropriate place to post this, but I figure y'all being from the NJ/NY area y'all would know. I will be returning to the states in May, hopefully, and my Runner has been sitting at my work since around Mid-January. What kind of servicing should I schedule/get done when I return. I am just trying to get a list of stuff I need to do when I return. Thanks for the help. BTW......I have about 5,700-5,900 miles on it and oil was changed @ 3,500 miles.

Shouldn't be much to do for a new(ish) car that sits for 4 months. I would probably change the oil and run the gas to almost empty and fill up but the gas should be fine after only 4 months. The tires might be flat spotted and should round itself after a few miles. Take it easy at first (maybe the first 10-20 miles) to make sure the various joints get warmed up.
Oh, the most important thing...

Thanks for the info. I didn't even think about the gas. When I fill up, I might put a bottle of that engine cleaner stuff in there to make sure the sediments are taken care of. I hope my battery won't be dead. If so, is there any special way of jump starting a 4th gen? Seeing as they have the hold start feature. Any input is greatly appreciated.
Also, I think....no, I know I will definatly make some meet and greets when I get back.
