Basic upkeep tips

[88Wrangles]

So I have this presentation in a class tomorrow and I am supposed to talk about basic upkeep tips for automotives :roll: . I am kind of drawing a blank right now, so what all can you guys think of :?:

So far I have: Change Oil
Coolant/antifreeze
Differential Fluid
Transmission Fluid
Transfer Case Fluid
Air/Fuel Filter
Tires-pressure/wear

 

[whiterubicon]

washing and waxing, lubricate hinge pins, door, trunk and hood latches, and cleaning the interior.

 

[numbrsevn]

spark plugs, plug wires, battery (and adding D.I. water), sensor replacements, 4" suspension lifts, v8 swaps, BFG's oh sorry, i got side-tracked

 

[currupt4130]

grease all u joints, sway and track bars, anything with a grease fitting, brake pads/calipers

 

[geopig]

Pull the poser offroad vehicles parts outta your grill every now and then.

Couldn't resist.

 

[Snitty]

all fluids and filters.. that's been established...
oxygen sensor
ignition system: plugs, wires, cap/rotor, maybe coil
headlights are often overlooked... its not a bad idea to change them before they leave you with no vision
rotate tires
check alignment
check all suspension bushings/steering joints

 

[mingez]

Go thru what inspectors look at. Only ones not said that I could think of are signals, and brakelights. Check 'em make sure they work. Sucks to get hit from behind because you didn't know those weren't working.
:idea:

Change the headlight fluid and make sure the 710 is tight.

 

[Tug-n-pull]

Keep all your moving parts clean! tug

 

[L33TJ33P]

make sure your Muffler Bearings are properly greased

 

[jps4jeep]

Change the headlight fluid and make sure the 710 is tight.

Accually it is blinker fluid TC, and that reminds me, mine is low!! (for real though, I will try to take a pic)


You guys forgot the most important, a liberal dose of MUD!!

Great theft deterant, what thug wants to pick up his shortie in a dirty whip!

for anyone who cares

Well, thanks for the help! I got full credit on it, so I think you guys covered just about everything. Last night, I was working on 2 big papers as well as this, so I was having trouble concentrated on something simple like this.
