[crazy legs]

lol...since I am the first...every woman should know how to change oil and where basic parts are...i.e.:spark plugs, oil filter, distributor, air filter, fuel filter, brake fluid reservoir...where the jack and spare tire are (if the car is so equipped). Women should also be aware as to some other basics: bleeding brakes, checking power steering and radiator levels. If a woman was to take a car to a mechanic or dealership for engine problems, they should take the advice received with a grain of salt before getting everything fixed...find a website similar to this and post the findings to get opinions of others, or at least talk to someone they know to inquire with them... The only thing that has probably embarrassed me the most is when a woman doesn't know when the last time she changed her oil or any basic fluids for that matter.

Hope this helped...and wasn't too late...Good Luck!
