Checking oil
Are there any special tricks, other than taking off the engine cover, to checking the oil? I have pretty large hands, and getting to the dipstick is a problem for me. Maybe I'll let my teenager check it!

you don't need to take any covers off except to ADD oil. It is difficult to get to, but there are really two routes to get your hand down to the stick - choose the best - it works best with no watch on but I usually leave mine on. I've gotten better at it after about 65 times checking it... and as far putting it back in to recheck after cleaning it - I clean it while it's still inside, then once you have the end in the straw holder tube just let it drop, then push it in all the way to get your reading.
