Don't a lot of new cars have shipping blocks in their suspension that don't get taken off until PDI?


I would advocate using one of those moisture sucking tubs for your interior in case of condensation and mold. You can get them for $2 at Daiso. I have them in all my closets. I put one in a CRX that I stored though, and it didn't seem to have sucked much moisture out.

Top up fuel like others said.

Not terribly concerned about the exhaust, critters are more likely to hide in the airbox or cabin air filter and I'm not sure there's anything you can do except drip some peppermint oil to ward them off (bonus the car will smell like fresh mint haha)

Put some loose carpet under your tires and over inflate them if you are concerned about flat spots. I'd advise against putting the car on jack stands. You don't know if the floor or stands are even and I don't think keeping the chassis slightly tweaked for 4 months would be good for the car.
