If you have any suggestion on how to improve the Duratec Maintenance Section, please post.
Looking for volunteers to do detailed How-tos for the Duratec Maintenance section. (Credit would be given  )
Some examples would be:
- flushing coolant
- changing brake pads
- atx fluid change
- etc. etc. etc.
If you would like to do a How-to, please post here w/ what How-to you will be doing.
Try to include what tools are needed/used, what should be purchased (parts, liquids, etc.), time needed, etc.
PM when How-tos are ready - I'll give an email address.
Please note that this is not the area to discuss Mods - please, start your own thread!
If a reply is made that is not a suggestion (or an agreement of suggestion) it will be deleted.

Whhaaaaa?!?!? You don't like my beautiful how-to? But the pictures, they are just so.... juvenile..  LoL, IIRC, I did that how-to in response to many people not understanding the very basic how-to that already existed, so it was a bit sarcastic. It's pretty much the easiest maintenance to be done on the car, alongside cabin air filter. Spark plugs could use some pics, although Derek did a pretty good job putting that one together, description wise.

I'm on it.. I believed there was a spark plug how-to already, though the pictures needed some help, IIRC..
I'll yank the plugs out tomorrow just to make a how-to (don't need new plugs.. but I'll take another one for the team..)
