In the process of car maintenance, you will soon be convinced that it is possible - and necessary - to combine many procedures due to the similarity of actions for their implementation. For example, if the vehicle is raised off the ground to lubricate the chassis, you should simultaneously inspect the exhaust system, suspension, steering system, and fuel system while you are under the vehicle. If the wheels are removed for other work, it makes sense to check the brakes. Finally, suppose you had to borrow or rent a torque wrench. Even if you only need it to tighten the spark plugs, you can also check the tightening torques of as many critical nuts and bolts as you have time.
The first step in a car maintenance program is self-preparation. Carefully study the materials of all Sections related to the upcoming procedures, then prepare all the necessary materials, equipment and tools. If you are afraid of encountering problems when performing any specific work, consult a specialist or a person who has already carried out this work.
