So /o/, what basics of car maintenance do you think everyone should know? What's the most important skill to have?

Personally, I know the basics: Oil change, changing/rotating tires, changing out brakes, etc.
Is that a good base?

You should be able to decoke your cylinder head and adjust for ring gap at least biweekly.
>>
>>16381846
Change oil, check tire pressure regularly, know how to change brakes, know how to properly clean your car.

that right there will keep your car running smoothly for a long time.

>>16381855
Considering how little I know about cars in general, I'll assume you're trolling.
>>16381864
That does make sense. What do you mean by 'clean' though? Literally just keep the interior/exterior clean?
>>
>>16381885
Yes, like how to keep your wheels clean, ECT.
It's super important to keep your car clean IMO
>>
>>16381885
I'm trolling

Just learn how to replace exterior filters, change a spare, drain and flush your cooling system and change brake pads and rotors.
>>
>>16381921
I feel like that's common sense. A dirty, unkempt car sort of reflects what type of person you are in my mind.
>>16381933
That sounds good, I'll have to learn how to do my cooling system though.
>>
>>16381966
It's not hard, there's plenty of guides on YouTube. What car? Also it's not a bad idea to make sure your battery terminals and posts are clean and free of corrosion

pretty much basic maintenance is stuff that can be done in under 20min.
>Change battery
>Change oil
>change coolant
>Air filters

Thank you. And, I'm a poorfag with a bicycle right now, Guess I gave the wrong impression. Sorry.

>>16382026
Don't worry too much about it, you'll figure it out as you go along and you'll be able to tell when something is fucking up
>>
>>16382042
Alright, thanks for all the Advice.
