How to: Basic vehicle maintenance everyone should know

Nice mostly to the points video, really helps to review these things when haven’t been shown around in a while. This must be a 3rd gen Off Road trim Tacoma. I read and i think i observed on the sport trim, the brake and clutch fluid share a reservoir.

This is a 3rd gen Tacoma TRD off road. I'm not positive on the sport models or the pro models. I thought they all had separate reservoirs but I could be wrong.

​@@MattBuildyeah it kinda surprised me to learn that those reservoirs can be shared, also limits options to run dot3 in one and dot /4 or dot5.1 in the other. Another how to along the same theme as this video idea might be how to make sure the shop or dealer didn't mess up your oil change, or at least what to check for and how to check right away. I have only done oil myself once, and there was a helpful guy in charge of the hobby garage that would point to things and operated the hydraulic lift. Anecdotally, it seems like dealers and quick stop oil change places mess it up more than they should just based on first or second hand stories, and postings on Tacomaworld and similar. I don't think there's any way to tell they overtightened, unless they went really extreme or it's next time though

That's a very good idea on how to check behind them. And I actually just filmed a video of how to do an oil change on my wife's camry this weekend so after editing it should go up in the next week or 2. (I'm trying to keep a backlog of videos so I can stay regular with the videos) I may either add to that video or just make another video of thing to check for after someone else does you oil change. I actually bought my wife a jeep last year and to begin with I though it had a front main seal leak but come to find out the oil filter was loose. Great idea thank you!
