I'd add an extra quart or two of your preferred oil. Some spare bulbs for headlights, taillights, etc. In addition to some water for the car (in case of coolant leakage), I'd keep some drinking water in the trunk (a couple liters) and a few snacks such as granola/energy bars somewhere in the car too.

I also keep a ratcheting screw driver with swappable tips and a set of torx and torx security tips handy. If you have factory security lug nuts on your wheels make sure you carry the special socket adapter with you in case you get a flat.

For most common failures such as water pump failure, IMS bearing failure, and AOS failure you REALLY don't want to drive the car any further once the failure has occurred. For slow fluid leaks or a flat tire, it is a different story and you should travel prepared for those issues. The factory tool kit is very functional too.
