Lightbulb Surviving the Summer Road Trip ?

Hi Member's,
Received the below topic's in my Valvoline Newletter.
This is not my personal endorsement for Valvoline, but I do like many of the auto topic's that they send.

I hope some of our member's extract some information that they can use/apply.

Change your oil
Check your other fluids
Make sure your A/C works
Check the air in your tires

ENJOY THE SITES IN YOUR MONTE CARLO

Thanks for the info. When I go on long trip - I put the bumper bra on it to protect the finish of the paint from bugs & rocks. When I get home --that comes off, cleaned & put away for next trip. I won't leave it on the car, as straps tend to wear on paint...

-Mark.
