If you're gone that long I'd get a "smart" trickle charger. I'm also reluctant to just disconnect the battery as I did have some trouble a while...
They can be easily replaced but offhand, I don't know the part number.
I think most 550 owners would say that it's a relatively expensive car to maintain- but it was expensive to buy!.....at least when it was new. A...
No valve problems here ('97 550).
OK, just to make sure I don't do something stupid........ I need to top off my coolant in the 550 and am assuming that I can use any good quality...
