I'm going on a 3,000 mile road trip in May. I'm trying to think of all the things that should be done before I go. The Fiesta is at 87,000 miles. I haven't done the coolant or transmission fluid yet and plan to. Brake fluid was done a couple years ago. Spark plugs are planned. The passenger side engine mount has been squeaking in the cold for the last couple of years and I've been too lazy to do it, so it's time. Of course I change the oil regularly at 5k miles and will do that before I head out. I'll have to check on the last time I did the air filter but I think it's pretty recent.
Is there anything else I should check or replace before heading out?
How much coolant do I need to replace the coolant that comes out from a drain? Not doing a flush, just draining what will come out from the bottom of the radiator. I know it doesn't all drain. Just trying to see much is need to buy without a lot extra but still want to make sure I have enough.
