What do u check when u change your oil?

[bloopbloob]

Just wondering what kind of stuff you guys check when you change your own oil? do mustangs have any grease points? i check all fluids (except tranny & diff- but i will this time), & clean K&N, but just wondering what else i should be inspecting regularly???

I like to run my code scanner every time I change my oil, makes it easy to remember to do if I just do it every time I'm doing the ol' lube job.

You got anything worth deleting?

When my car used to run lol, id check the clutch cable shielding for anything that looked like it was cracking or burning, check all the other fluids, check the rear main seal for leaks, tranny for leaks, tranny fluid level, differential for leaks, and it sounds retarded, but i would take an air hose, and blow out all of my heater / ac vents because the dust that collects on them aggrivates me to no end.

hmm. yet another FABULOUS derailment.

the main thing i'm wondering is are there any grease nipples on a fox? i'm just wondering if i'm missing something by changing my own oil instead of taking it to a shop?

I check all fluids. Diff, Tranny. coolant, P/S, Brake. Check tire pressure, Lube all door hinges and locks. hood latch gets some lube. check my U-joints. Greese any fittings. check for worn front end parts. check belts and hoses, Light bulbs......but I also have a hoist

 

[Roland69]

There might be some in the outer tie rods and lower ball joints....mine has them. I also have fittings in both U-joints. But I changed all parts with greese fittings.

usually clean the t-body and MAF as well as K&N when i do an oil change.

While the car is up on ramps, i buy a carn of GUNK engine degreaser and degrease the entire underside of the car.

As a result, the bottom of my cars are pretty clean

 

[Roland69]

mine is covered in oil spray....get it sprayed once a year to prevent rust...
