Hello 200 owners!
To date, I've struggled through oil changes and diff our changes without any special tools or parts. I've also shied away from some fairly straightforward maintenance items because I have (think) I don't have the right tools or methods.
I want to change my oil in a couple of weeks, and this morning I was researching the Jowett Performance Billet Cap and drain valve, which is currently sold out, and had a tough time finding all the parts I needed. Probably my deficiency.
I'm hoping this thread could become a place where people post or link their maintenance hacks and which parts and tools make the job easier.
A few maintenance routines that seem daunting or time consuming if not for this forum:
- Oil changes
- changing PCV valve
- adjusting the parking brake (at the handle and the rotor)
- changing the rear shocks
- front diff (changing the plug bolt, what's the part num?)
- replacement headlight bulbs
- fixing broken recirc door
If you have a recommendation, link, or link can you please post in this thread?
I propose something like this:
_____
Maintenance Routine: Oil Change
Recommended Parts:
- Jowett Performance Billet Cap and drain valve (as this is sold out, what might a replacement be (fumoto)?)
- fuel line
- venza aluminum part (what part num)
Recommended Tools:
- Tool 1 (link)
Recommended Process:
1. Step one
2. Step two
3. Step three
Useful link:
- link one
