Servicing tools

nellocono

Hi Guys, Can anyone give me a link (maybe to Halfords) to a set of tools I will need in order to perform a service on my car... All I need to go is: change the oil, oil filter, fuel filter and spark plugs. I'm not the most tool orientated guy so If someone can give me a link to the set of tools that will have all the tools to do the above then Im sure i will be able to figure out which tool is needed for each thing to do. Thanks

I dont really advocate going to Halfords for anything but here:

You might also want a set of Torx aswell as some cars now have torx screws holding the airfilter box closed.

get a set of between T10 and T25

Thats true actually, i never needed one till i bought my Integra, for some reason the oil filters wedge themselves on.

Some people really over tighten them, they only need to be hand tight

I have this exact set, and it comes with Torx bits, long sockets and extension bars. there's a good selection of ratchet spanners and pretty much any socket you'll need (sometimes pairs of the same size)
There's a lifetime warranty on the sockets, which I haven't needed despite being physical with them.

Think I paid 125 euro for them when they were half price about 18 months or 2 years ago.

Couldn't reccommend them highly enough.
