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.

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.

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
>>16381846
pretty much basic maintenance is stuff that can be done in under 20min.

>Brake pads
>cleaning /waxing so your car doesn't rust to shit

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
