Check the fluids, tire pressure, belts, and as was mentioned it was dealer maintained, so probably good to go.

look over the records of it`s maintenance if she kept them.

Having a couple spin on filters wouldn`t be a bad idea, and a clear one. you can shake out anything from the clear one and blow it out with brake cleaner spray if necessary.
Have some ATF to fill the spin-on filter if you change one. think it is a 22mm socket that loosens the spin-on filter bolt.

Stay out of the Jiffy Lube places and DIY, less problems in the long run.
Even if it is in need of a oil change, you won`t hurt it until you get home.

Just drive it and have a safe trip.

Congratulations with your new baby.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
