Forget the torque wrench and use the key. These cars deteriorate faster sitting in storage than being driven! If you're going half a mile, get a Honda. When you start the engine of your 240D, don't shut it off until the oil gets hot enough to boil off trapped moisture. That won't happen idling, either. Drive it once a week or once a month if that's all the time you have but go for a continuous half hour drive. Go to Costco and buy cigarettes by the pallette
