    Anything inside the engine, mekaniko na at pati na din major electricals.

    So far, ang mga DIY ko sa sasakyan namin are:
    - Brakes
    - Tie rods (alignment sa shop na)
    - Clutch lining/pressure plate sa L300 namin
    - Water pump
    - Leaf spring and U-Bolts
    - Change oil (overnight)

    Sarap din kasi mag DIY, laking accomplishment pag natapos mo na.

    Change fuel filter -Sometimes ME
    air Filter - Me
    Spark plugs (clean/replace)- Me
    Tune up - Me (pag maliit lng) Shop na pag sa engine
    Dead Bulbs or (replace stock)- ME (DIY)

    Finchy18, it's good that you want to learn more about your car. I find that if you know how things work then even if you decide to go to a mechanic you can't be screwed by phantom repairs. My dad was a heavy equipment mechanic so I learned alot fom him about the basics. Try using a Fumoto valve for your plug to make oil changes easier. fumoto website
