Hello guys,
What's in your tool box? What types of tools? Which brands?
I need to know what tools are required for DIY projects such as these:
- Basic oil change
- Cleaning of MAF sensor
- Replacement of Xenon bulb in headlights
- Replacement of broken cup holder
- Removal of door panels to fix a door lock
Specifically, what socket sizes, torx sizes, socket extensions or special-order tools are required?
Thanks!

No matter what, you will definitely need these:
9 Piece 3/8" Drive Star Bit Set
This has the T60 to do the pulley and belt tensioner.
17 Piece 1/4"& 3/8" Drive E-Socket and Star Bit Set
This will take care of one of the bolts on your starter.
Oil filter wrench
