3000+ Mile trip on friday....
I'm going to be leaving for a 3000+ mile trip this friday and was wondering if there were some SUPER obvious things I should do to prepare/bring along (minus what I've already thought of)
I just changed radiator and hoses (all seems to be well so far), but I'm going to bring along what I have left of BMW coolant, and distilled water.
I'm going to change the oil wednesday with some of that mobile 1 0w40 i keep hearing about. What kind of filter should I use???
Bringing a toolkit with sockets and stuff, and probably a jackstand.....
I'll be checking your basic tire pressure, got a AAA member along for the ride....
I just don't want to be in the middle of north dakota broke down wishing I had brought something else.
biggest question, what kind replacement oil filter should I use, and where to buy the oil??
I'm planning SF to Denver round trip 10/04 and...
planning to do my fuel pump before the trip. I've got 177K, though. If your water pump and T-stat have more than 60K, you might want to replace or at least carry spares.
