Changing the engine air filter is easy to do, as you only have to disengage a few fasteners for access to the filter. These fasteners are easy to disengage. The engine coolant reservoir is easily visible in the engine bay. This will allow you to check and replenish the fluid level on a regular basis.

The tools necessary may not be readily available for a repair. Changing the parking light will also require you to completely remove the housing. The power steering reservoir is located deep in the engine bay, and removing the reservoir cap will require a tough reach.
