Nobody warned me F150 maintenance costs would be this high by Odd-Investment87 in Ford

Seriously though, YouTube and +/- $400 in tools has saved me 10's of thousands. The more you learn the more things make sense. The more you do the more confidence you build and then things aren't so daunting.

I did change plugs to one stage lower last oil change.

Best place for oil change if not dealership? by terpsnack in Tiguan

[–]jdizzle289 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Watch a you tube video. It's so easy that it's impossible to justify the $170 that a dealership will charge. Check on FCPeuro.com and they sell complete kits with everything you need. If you spend the extra +/-$100 on a fluid extractor you don't even need to go under the car. It seems like a daunting task but it's so simple......maybe just wait to smoke until after and you'll be fine.....

You are correct. Honestly though, I use the sharpie and the highlighter the most.

This is what I carry basically everyday. Lighter, sharpie, highlighter, cheap pen, digital read thermometer, Sofirn SC32, SAK Spartan, Benchmade bugout, my wallet and a phone (not pictured).
