How many of you perform your own routine maintenance? ie, oil changes, minor tune ups and filter changes, tire rotations. The things that you can do with just your general hand tools.
Routine Maintenance Question?

Always. It's cheaper, and usually takes less time.

What no poll for this one..
I haven't in the past... But now that we bought the house I am going to try and start doing oil changes and tire rotations.
I already did minor stuff on my own. Cleaned TB, Air Filter...
But would like to start doing more on my own. Just need to get the tools to do it all.
I am planning on changing fuel filter this weekend if I get a chance
Vote now.

Tire rotations depends some times. I get my tires on base and with the maintenance agreement it comes with lifetime of the tires rotation and balance. So I usually make an appointment to have them done every 6k. I just drop it off at lunch and then go over to the NCO club and have lunch, by the time I get back it is done. But like my truck, since I got the tires at a different place. I just put it on my lift and rotate them along with grease all the fittings and check my brakes for how they are wearing.
Usually...tire rotations are free and they balance too so I don't do that

I enjoy doing my own maintenance - and - I know it's done right and with the correct parts.
The only time I don't is if it's something that absolutely requires specialty tools that I don't have the time to find or purchase.

I do everything I can at the house. I have rotated the tires the last few times. But I may take it somewhere from now on. It is very time consuming for me to put it on Jackstands and rotate all of them
