Reply With Quotetire pressure, washer fluid (important trust me!). if all other regular maintenance has been performed on time you should be fine. i've been behind the wheel of my ep to all four sides of the contenental united states with no problems.
I will be taking a 8hr roadtrip in my ep and just wanted to know what to check before i leave... The only thing that i assume to check is the oil level? Is there aNything else that i should check that would guarantee me a safe trip?

wow.... it is an 8 hour trip. It isn't like he is driving to the moon. IMO.. check your oil.. make sure all 4 tires are still there.. make sure your engine turns on and go.
