    Just wanted to thank members of the forum for their helpfulness and knowledge. I went from having never changed my own engine oil, to completing all of the recommended maintenance routines on my vehicle! This has saved me thousands of dollars, and I learned some invaluable new skills.

    Here's a list of the procedures I have completed:

    1. Oil changes ever 5k miles
    2. ICE + Inverter coolant change
    3. Transmission fluid change
    4. Spark plug replacement
    5. Fuel injector replacement
    6. Water pump replacement
    7. PCV valve replacement
    8. EGR + Pipe cleaning
    9. Intake manifold + Throttle body cleaning
    10. Oil catch can installation
    11. MAP + MAF sensor cleaning
    12. New engine + cabin air filter
    13. Replaced all bulbs with LED and swapped to fresh fuses
    14. Hybrid battery fan cleaning
    Some of these really tested my patience, and at times my sanity :whistle: However, I pushed through and came out the other side a changed man, with a changed car!
