So I have to drive back to school this coming week, I'm taking a few days to make the drive. But I was wondering if there were any special preperations I should make or anything I should inspect on the car? Any suggestions would be greatley appreciated.

I was considering a Full Circle inspection at my local dealer, is that a good idea or a waste of money?

Thanks!

waste of money you can check the stuff yourself and make sure you have oil monitior the temperature tape off the front end due to crazy chips etc etc

I wouldn't bother taking the car in for an inspection. If you've kept up on regular maintenance you should be fine.

You can check all the fluids yourself, lights/bulbs, check tire pressure/tires and if you could always get an oil change beforehand if you want. Make sure to stash a quart of oil in the trunk just in case. I always have one back there in the cubby.

Have a great drive - let us know how it goes.

How many miles is that???

Before I make any "major" [500 miles or more one way] in any car I cahnge my oil and just do the normal checks and change whatever is dirty and replace any worn belts and stuff.

On the 8 based on how many miles I have already on the car I'd check [have someone to check] the coils.

Other than that I don't think there are any extra things to do....

Keep extra oil in the trunk...

I have noticed making the drive from Northern PA to FL a few times in the 8 and back to nc from fl and pa a few times I've noticed if I set cruise at 73MPH I don't use barely any oil...but it's def good to keep a sqare quart....

and and another must is LOTS AND LOTS OF TUNES!!!!!
