Between Oil Changes: The First 4,000 Miles

Two days ago, I got my first oil change of the trip. Normally, I would shoot for every 3,000 miles, but our trip to Nova Scotia postponed the maintenance for another 1,000 miles. On our way to Lewiston from Bar Harbor, we stopped at a local shop that not only changed my oil, but did a full diagnostic check on all my fluids, tire pressure, chassis, wipers, etc. Best $23.00 I have spent in awhile…

I am now 23 days in to my trip and I have been wanting to share some of my favorites from along the way. Not wanting to share these favorites all the time, I decided to pair these posts with my oil changes, giving updates every 3,000-5,000 miles. Here goes!
