Hello everyone,
I'm just about to do a major service on my car but i just have a few questions before i go ahead with it!
This is the list of what i'm planning to do, other than the regular checks of course,
-change oil and oil filter
-replace air filter
-replace spark plugs
-replace fuel filter
-replace brake fluid
-replace transmission fluid
I'm not gonna change dif oil or coolant cause i just did that. Is there anything i'm missing?
Also, what sort of engine oil should i use? I have been using shell semi synthetic 15w-40, is this pretty good?
I'm probably gonna get bosch spark plugs, but they have 3 ranges from basic to platinum. Is it worth getting the platinum ones or not bother?
The fuel filter is something i haven't replaced before, is it fairly easy? What is the procedure for this? Also i read somewhere they have like a retainer thing, or is it just the fuel filter that gets replaced...?
Am i right in saying doing the transmission fluid is just draining and refilling or does it need to be bled and stuff too? Is this a similar procedure to the brake fluid?
Now finally, what is the capacity of the engine oil, and brake and transmission fluid?
I read somewhere about clutch fluid but i'm guessing thats just a different way of saying transmission fluid?
Sorry about the long and large amount of questions, just don't wanna stuff anything up!
Thanks in advance.
