Road Trip Checklist Inspect Your Car Before You Take a Road Trip Change the Oil and Filter If the car is within 500 miles or so of needing an oil change, and your trip will take you past that distance, change its oil and filter before you leave. Check Fluid Levels Check the cars fluid levels, like washer fluid, engine oil if you dont change it, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid and power steering fluid. If checks reveal low levels, have the car serviced to make sure theres not a problem. Check Your Tires Inspect your tires for wear. That job covers more than checking the tire pressure, but it wont take you very long. If you dont already know how to change a flat tire, learn to do it before you leave. A short pre-trip exercise will help you figure out tire-changing problems before youre stuck on the side of the road. More Road Trip Checks Install new wiper blades or blade inserts or take along a spare pair. Check your autos air conditioning system. Inspect belts and hoses to make sure they arent cracked or worn. If you arent comfortable doing that, take the truck to a technician. Check all lights to make sure they work. Slip in a jug of water in case you need it for the radiator (or for a drink). Be sure to follow specific suggestions for safe travel to your destination. have a good trip! Lastly have Auto Express Solution number just in-case you get stuck.......
