I am going for about a 3 hr drive one way this weekend with my car and i was wondering what i should check to make sure that i dont have problems on the road. My car is a 1990 automatic with about 135xxx miles. It never suddenly gave my any problems on my normal day to day driving. Things that i plan on checking are the engine oil, tranny oil, brake fluid, powerstreering fluid, and windsheild washer fluid. Also i will fill it up with antifreeze. If you have any suggestions please let me know what to check (and how to check, incase i dont know). I have confidence in my car but i still want to be sure. Thanks

Definately check ur brakes, coolant, hose, starting, electrical component. u dont wanna stop by somewhere, then find ur self not starting up again.
bring coolant/spare water in the trunk or whatever... make sure ur phone or whatever u need is with u. and FULL TANK GAS !hahahahah -
just start from the radiator and look at those, squeeze it a bit and go w/ ur instincts... or have ur friends help u out.
im sure ur fine, but i know what u mean.hahahahahComment

Check all you connections such as battery cables and make sure they are tight. also when i go on extended trips i usually take my tool set with me just in case...Originally posted by T3aM 83rD

Bring a nice size Flash light as well as a little autozone kit of sockets just incase something unexpected does happen.
