I did fill the gas tank and will have access to it so I can run it for a few minutes a day to get the fluids going, but any other advice would be appreciated, thanks!

First, get a car cover.
Secondly, spray animal repellent
around car. Usually smells citric and contains cinnamon.
Third, every week take off cover, undust it if you live in dusty area, and apply more repellent around car. Maybe quik wax it?
Then, youre good. Pet shops that carry reptiles also offer free snake poo you can throw under cars. Helps with warding off birds and cats.

Do you leave anything plugged in or have car alarm? Most i leave mine is 3 weeks. No issues besides squeaky breaks.
