Just did a trip in a 4.8is from Sarasota to new jersey. 1200 miles. Great fun.

Just check all your fluids, make sure oil is topped off, coolant is good, etc.

Otherwise, have fun!

Check Tire pressure, coolant and oil levels. That's the first few things.

As a veteran of many long trips, I would say...

If your car is on relatively good condition, be sure to also check the tires for imperfections, the spare to be sure it has juice, and the windshield washers to be sure they are in good condition.

Other than that, go.
