More details needed -- does it crank but not fire? That would be a flooding issue. Does it not crank? That would be a battery issue.

Oil is not the issue here.

I've left rotary cars sit for 3-5months at a time in a heated garage. Cars usually crank over for 3-5 seconds, then fire right up. Enjoy the vacation, and don't worry about the car. CJ

Don't worry about the car now. Worry about if it will start or not when you get back.
