My '95 SC3 has 268000+ miles, the engine runs perfect. Slight traces of oil leak but probably from oil pan gaskets age. Hardly any lost of oil. No other leaks, etc.

So I'm wanting to go on long road trips with it. Not many, but maybe a few times. The longest distance would be about 2500 to 3500 miles round-trip (DC to Key West, FL, and back plus the driving I'll be doing going here and there as I make my way and explore). All other roadtrips will be less than that, some may come up as high but shouldn't be no more than. Most will be from DC within a 300 - 400 mile radius.

What maintenances should I do to help my be assured that I'm not going to find myself stuck somewhere?

I have done:

@265510 mi.
Timing Belt
Timing Idler Pulley
Timing Hydraulic Tensioner
Front Crank Seal
Cam Seals
Water Pump

I change my oil pretty much anywhere between every 3000 - 5000 miles using Mobil1 High Mileage 10W-30. I may use 5W-30 HM.

I'm planning on changing:

Battery
Ignition Coil
Spark Plug Wires
Spark Plugs

So I'm wondering on other things like the upper and lower radiator hoses, the radiator, and the alternator.

Any input from you guys, especially anyone who does extensive driving for any means, is greatly appreciated.

Also, any one know a good company who has road side assistance? I was thinking to join with AAA.

Seems good. I would just check fluid levels, check on power steering hoses, clean iacv, fuel filter, air filter, valve cover gaskets. Nothing should be holding you back from there.
Good luck! Enjoy the road trips, I know I sure have.

Thanks for the input. Most of the roadtrips would be for Lexus meets and other car events. It's a large reason for me to venture out, besides vacation.
