If I were you I'd make sure all the fluids were topped off and the bolts secure, just to be safe.

Like when I got my truck my fill bolt on my tranny felt welded on (took me hours to get it off) but my drain bolt was merely finger tight. Just something to check. Check and top off your window washer fluid of course.
