If you are planning a long trip, consider a few things before heading to your car and jump into the adventure. A long journey is a challenge facing every car. In your case, check your manual car and a careful study to find out exactly what your car would have to travel hours to survive. Two of the first things you need before making a long trip, your car engine oil and transmission fluid. You will know when your engine oil must be replaced when the oil in the gauge seems darker and little touches like the brand that says “FULL”. On the other hand, when you check the transmission fluid, look for brownish oil. If the oil is too dark, have also changed.
The tires on your car must be in perfect condition. Check air pressure and whether they have passed the recommended pressure for your model car tire. CV joints, suspension and steering checked to ensure that your car is in perfect condition.
In any case you replace the battery immediately. Another way to check if your battery is a long journey to survive is to control the speed of the pendulum. If it is slower than normal, it is an indicator that the battery of your car near the end of his life.
Always remember to check your emergency kit car. Make sure it is complete with a flashlight, jumper cables, tire measure, screwdrivers, pliers, jack, and other instruments used for emergency repairs. Also, remember to check your spare tire and more air or not to see.
Finally, you can benefit from a GPS navigation system. If your car is not, consider having one installed.
