Dont put it on stands, it's actually bad on the suspension to sit like that for a long time. If it's only for a month don't worry about it.

Empty, or could I just use fuel stabilizer?

That's what I figured. Now should I change the oil also when taking it out of storage?

Thanks.

I thought a full tank of gas was better because a full tank accumulates less condensation (water and resulting rust). Also, should you run the car for a bit after adding fuel stabalizer so that it gets through the fuel system?

On the oil, is used oil more prone to become acidic as it is dirty? Regardless, for only a month it's probably not a big deal but for long term I believe it's recommended to do an oil change before and after.
