Cross-Country Road Trip (Preventative Maintenance)
What's up guys,
I'm moving from Atlanta back to Orange County CA toward the end of July, a total of 2250 miles. I will be driving my 95 Sc400 with 124,xxx miles on it. I have owned it for almost 3 years now and it has never given me any issues...
My questions for you guys is if you have any recommendations for preventative maintenance before I make this long *** trip. Things I can think of off the top of my head that still need to be done is an oil change, coolant flush, and possibly plugs\wires. I will make a list of things that I have already replaced in the last 7000 ish miles below.
Thank you in advance, any help is appreciated.
Timing belt\tensioner
Water pump
Serpentine belt
Dizzy Cap\rotors
PS Flush
2x ATF Drain and refill w/ every oil change
Tires have less than 10,000 miles on them
Brake fluid flush
Brakes look to have about 40% of life left on them

You covered the obvious stuff, sounds like you are in pretty good shape to make the trip. There are a few things that can come up if you haven't addressed them yet like the ECU, fuel pump ecu, fuel pump, cv axles, wheel bearings. But all of those are items that may not give you problems for a while but are known issues long term.
