Sa pagkakaalam ko tune-up din. Glow plugs are some of the parts that occassionally needs attention. Basically, engine components of gas-fed and diesel units are the same. Except for the main engine, ofcourse. :D

What systems/parts are checked during a tune-up?
-Starting system
-Fuel system
-Charging system
-Exhaust system
-Ignition system
-Engine block

Do-It-Yourself Vehicle Maintenance Checks:

-Inspect V-belts monthly. Replace worn glazed or torn belt.

-Check engine oil every fortnight. Remove dipstick, wipe it clean, insert it and remove it again. If oil level is low, add oil.

-Check radiator water/coolant level weekly. Do not remove radiator pressure cap when engine is hot.

-Check brake fluid reservoir. If brake fluid is below minimum mark, add. Do not open cap unless refilling fluids only. Water may cause mixing and premature brake operation.

-Keep windshield reservoir full and keep the wiper blades clean. If wiper blades are worn or brittle, replace them.

To be continued...

Continuation...

-Look for signs of oil seepage on shock absorbers. Test shock action by bouncing car up and down. The car, should stop bouncing when you step back.

-Replace worn or leaking shocks Repair shocks in pairs i.e. both front shocks or both rear shocks or all four.

-Ensure all lights are clean and working including brake and reverse lights, turn signals and emergency flashers.

-Check battery monthly in cold weather, weekly in hot weather and daily on long trips. Make sure cables are attached securely and free of corrosion Check battery fluid level, if need add fluid, but in most cases, new batteries come out as Maintenance Free.

-Check for loose or broken exhaust clamps and supports. Check for holes in muffler or pipes. Repair or replace rusted or damaged parts.

Gas station service bays usually do some maintenance steps that is definitely cheaper than casa. Just follow what is indicated in your owner's manual when to change differential and transmission oils, change water/coolant system, and other quirks. :D
