The weird part is, I always thought people who read the Haynes Repair manuals are car advance mechanic minded people. I’m actually intimidated by those things and don’t bother looking at them fearing I won’t understand a word of it.
With that said, you can do everything you mentioned up there by watching YouTube videos which allowed me to do the majority if not all of those procedures; and I know nothing about cars if not for the internet. Basically only knew oil changes growing up.
Only thing I would not know above is the HEV inv.Cool either.
I let my dealer change my belt as convenience, but did change a belt on a Toyota Camry.
If you ever drop the transmission pan, change the strainer while you’re in there. Fel-pro Gaskets easily found at local Advance-Auto.
If you add a transmission cooler, change the mini filter in the beehive. I did neither since I don’t tow or overheat my transmission.
Did my brakes & rotors, they were oem and only 1 pair of brakes were changed in the last decade cuz of squeal. Replaced everything and I never maintained the whole time previously. YouTube-assisted.
Radiator might go bad in a few years, I changed mine recently, yes YouTube again!
Thermostat should be changed, but I didn’t bother since personally too complicated for me in my opinion.
Front lower cross arms should be changed after 100,000k or at least mine were to pass inspection even though it drove perfectly for me. Supposedly worn at 95,000k in my case. Got it done at stealership.
Change the coil packs, did mine recently.
Clean fuel system and injectors. Did it with pour out bottle routine, pick your poison.
Other than waiting for my original cvt to implode, it’s been basically bulletproof car. It accelerates smooth with no disconnect feel whatsoever. Which means not a hint of hesitation or shudder when pressing the gas. 100% pleasure to drive and the cvt close to perfection.
It drove like crap the middle years because I knew nothing about changing the other fluids. Unlike now, absolutely fantastic. But it did shudder like $hit when my spark plug 1 went bad recently. Put the old one back that I saved and changed all coils while I was at it. Smooth sailing again.
Use 303-aerospace protectant on the plastic rubber near bottom windows, they tend to dry out over the years. I also spray my axle boots and all the other rubber stuff to make them last longer. Original axles still but boots were replaced after leaking back in the day.
Don’t get much rust where I live but I do hit small areas with rust convertor.
Silicone spray the window channels to make it easier for the motor, avoid it getting stuck. Moreover, spray inside drain holes to prevent rust.
Clear foggy headlights with a kit or if you’re cheap, with toothpaste.
WD-40 key-holes for lock and ignition to make last longer. Silicone spray hood mechanism & door joints.
Make sure you use a blower from a vacuum to blast the inside of the cabin air filter enclosure. Alot of crap will fly out of there such as dirt, leaves, dust & bugs. Vacuum inside air filter engine box too.
If your a risk-taker, hose the engine clean at car wash, I’m lazy and just use my garden hose. I use degreaser and cover electrical with plastic bags and aluminum foil. Turn engine on and drive to dry.
Clay-bar once in a blue moon really takes out dirt ingrained into your paint job and makes it nice and smooth.
Battery maintainer quick connects. Self-explanatory.
I found that I get less ticking sound at start-up from my engine using the smaller extended performance Mobil 1 oil filters (oem-sized) instead of the longer 7317 version Fram ultra filters.
Change your rear shocks.
Even though my dealer bled my brakes last November, I still flush them this month since I was bored. Moisture builds up in the brake fluid.
I get an occasional clunk, but I lifted my vehicle.
I’m sure I have not changed things that could be done, but if it ain’t broke don’t fix it is my mantra.
You can save a lot of money doing this yourself. I got my rogue when I was a middle age dude, so I was a dinosaur fixing my car. We’ve been good partners in crime; my rogue & me.
Good Luck on your rogue
