One of the most basic car care tips I can give you is to set up a maintenance schedule and stick to it. This is absolutely necessary if you want to keep your car out of the shop and the money in your pocket. It is so easy to set up a checklist of things that need to be maintained and then divide it into timelines so you know when each one needs to be done. Some things you can take control of and start setting up interval maintenance for are replacing a PCV valve cleaning your ABS wheel sensors learning how to prevent corrosion in electrical connections and replacing your fuel filter.
One of the best things to start with when learning to handle your own car care is changing your own oil. Oil should typically be changed every 3000 miles and it is much easier to do yourself then you may think. For an oil change you will need a ratchet or open end wrench and oil filter wrench a container to catch the oil funnel new oil filter new oil and a clean rag. After you are sure that you have everything you need the first step is to drain all of the old oil out of the car. Be sure to catch all of the old oil so you can recycle it and it is not completely wasted. Once you have done this you can remove the old oil filter and replace it with your new one. Then you are ready to cap it fill it up with the new oil and check the oil level when you have finished. If you are unsure about how to change your oil it is best to consult your car care manual or do some research online to ensure that you do not damage your vehicle.
