What To Do BEFORE A Summer Road Trip

This summer has been the summer of local road tripping for our family, we have traveled pretty much every week at least a 2 to 3 hour drive away from our home. It has been fun and less stressful than some of our longer road trips, but with temperatures reaching a smoking hot 110 degrees plus here in our neck of the woods we have definitely had to prepare ahead to make sure our car is ready for this excess of summer drive time.

Since our car just reached the 100,000 mile marker, it needs a little more TLC. Our preparation starts with a trip to our local Walmart to get her oiled up and ready to go.

I pick Walmart to do this because it makes long haul driving prep a breeze. Not only can I make sure my car is summer road trip ready by their car care experts, but I can also pick up a few extra things like a new dress perfect for a little summer fun.

On this most recent visit to Walmart’s Automotive Care Center I was excited to discover that from now until September 28th, high mileage oil change is on Rollback to $35.88 and you all know how saving money makes me happy! Plus making sure that my car is getting the best products and service like Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil gives me peace of mind when we are hitting the open road.

I choose Pennzoil because it helps to clean out the sludge lesser oils leave behind, while helping to reduce leaks and oil consumption in worn or higher mileage engines.

It’s a motor oil specifically designed for new or late model vehicles like mine with over 75,000 miles, with the mission of keeping engines running clean and going strong.

It is also the closest thing I will ever have to a pit crew!
