In October we did a 3200 mile round trip and I had the same concerns as you. Our 2004 Aero had 84,000 miles at the start so I had the oil changed and did two drain and fills on the auto transmission myself. Earlier, I had the cooling system flushed and a new thermostat installed. Also replaced the temp sensor myself. As far as spare parts I carried a DIC, heater by-pass valve and CPS and the tools to change all three if needed. The car didn't even hiccup on the trip. Ran mid-grade gas and averaged 29.75 mpg on the interstate with nice weather. Very enjoyable drive in the Aero wagon.
