I can definitely follow the steps you laid out here! But I'm just curious, do you have like a magic number in terms of mileage or time in which you have to make the necessarily fluid changes, or do you have to feel the tell-tale signs from engine performance that a fluid change should be done? Is it the same with all cars? Or am I better off having mine garaged in a shop for routine maintenance? This article has been a great help, hope to see DIY motor maintenance posts like these in the future!<br /><br />Justin @ <a href="http://www.totalautomotive.net/" rel="nofollow">totalautomotive.net</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04209467026277613823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-43907282866773513102013-11-21T10:28:02.530-06:002013-11-21T10:28:02.530-06:00BobSkoot,

Actually, I was finally able to use the old bottle as an injector and it worked pretty well. <br />Thanks though,cpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-73185214918635193632013-11-20T11:28:20.068-06:002013-11-20T11:28:20.068-06:00Jimbo:

They are perfect for putting oil into vertical openings. I also went to the drug store and bought one of those liquid squeeze bottles with the narrow funnel top and you can just squeeze the oil out. They were cheap . . . perhaps you have them where you are.<br /><br />I think you feel a sense of accomplishment when you do your own service<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-7541733471353226832013-11-19T08:32:00.976-06:002013-11-19T08:32:00.976-06:00Keith, sometimes things happen for a reason even i...Keith, sometimes things happen for a reason even if you may not know it at the time. Initially I thought the gear oil seemed a bit thinner, but didn't actually realize the mistake until later. Sort of stumbled across it.

The spark plug for my Subaru is about three times the cost, but still pretty cheap. I'm sure the plug would last longer, but we got into the habit of swapping it out every 3,000 miles. Same interval for the gear oil. Do the engine oil change every 1,000 miles.cpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-56910318503958616962013-11-18T19:03:33.400-06:002013-11-18T19:03:33.400-06:00Yay!

In these days of unleaded gas, most plugs will last tens of thousands of miles.One of our cars specifies a plug change every 100,000 miles. Maybe it's a harsher environment on the Sym.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
