Hey guys, i just recently bought a 2005 rx8 with 20k miles on it. I am in chicago now but i have to drive it to New York next friiday. Is there anything i need to know? Anything that i should check or get changed before i go?

It just recently had oil and plugs changed but i didnt know if there was anything else i should worry about.

Thanks guys

 

no. just enjoy the cruise. consider how big of a rush you are to get there, and what speed you're planning on driving, because a small decrease in MPH can really improve MPG, which adds up over a long trip. For me the difference between 80mph and 65mph is 19mpg and 24mpg

 

thanks for the input, ill prolly be going around 70 throughout the trip...

 

stay between 3k and 5k when cruising.

take a quart or two of oil.

check tire pressure.

have fun.

 

its a 850 mile trip, so deffinitly bring oil just in case? or i will need it?

 

top it off before you start the trip and then check it every time you fill up for gas.

Its best to keep it topped off.

but dont overfill.
