I would always prefer to leave the car with fresh engine oil in the
sump after running it for maybe a day.
I leave my Pajero parked in a marina next to my boat for up to 8
months at a time. I do the engine oil, ensure the anti freeze and
screen washer fluids are all as they should be and fill-up the tank
to the brim.
A mate starts it and moves it once a month to get the engine warm and
charge the battery and then also rotate the wheels to keep them round'ish.
So if the batteries are removed as well as the tyres, then I guess
that I would still renew the engine oil and fill the tank. I much
prefer the engine to sit in clean fresh neutral oil, rather than sit
bathed in oil full of acids and corrosive by-products of the previous
3000 miles or so of combustion. I always have additive in the
diesel, but the only trouble with using fuel that is 6 months or so
old, is that it can get 'stale' and smoke a bit more, so I fill it
when half full or even sooner to get some new stuff running through the engine.
