I remember my childhood family road trips, and vacations. One of the time passing games was trying to figure out what crop the farmer was growing in the fields as we drove along the interstates. More on what you can see growing alongside interstate 10 in Arizona later.

Is your car ready for the Road trip?

Before you head out for that family road trip in your BMW or Mini Cooper, or just a weekend getaway, it is a good idea to check some basic vehicle maintenance to make sure that your car is ready to operate at safe and peak performance.

Oil and other fluids

In your car are several different types of fluids that help your vehicle run correctly on that road trip. The major fluid is engine oil. This oil allows all the internal metal parts of the engine to operate safely. Other engine fluids are power steering fluid which assists the steering system on the car. The radiator has a visible reservoir to check the fluid level. All these different fluids are easily checked before the road trip when the engine is cool. These different fluids usually have a measuring dip stick that shows the correct level of oil or fluid.

Tires

The tires on your car are what the car rides on to get you safely on that road trip. It’s important to maintain the correct air pressure in the tires to get the best vehicle performance and fuel mileage. Also it’s important to have dependable tires on your BMW or Mini Cooper.
