Post Road Trip ToDo's

[MilesTeg]

Hi,

I just got back from a 2,500 mile road trip in my 2003 X (best/easiest trip ever by the way), and I was wondering if there is anything I should do mechanically or otherwise after such a trip.

Before leaving I changed the oil/filter and checked all the fluids, waxed it good, etc.

I'm mostly wondering about things to do for the change in humidity (from around 10% to about 99%). Should I change the oil again right away, or do any other "cleaning" tasks (engine and/or interior) to get rid of excess moisture?

Thanks,
MilesTeg

Should be fine, I'd just check and top off any fluids that might have been consumed, etc.

3k is the recommended interval for an oil change, so it wouldnt hurt to change it now.

Clean the dead bugs out of the radiator and tranny cooler fins, if your at all like me, sort of ****, and you just quit smoking, semi retired, is a great deversion to tear off the entire front faschia, get them mummys outa there, only takes maybe 4 hrs, I do mine every 3 days even if the trac has not left the garage
