as long as you have a dl, you are good to go and if you are lucky enough to get the car manual in a language you understand.
hiyo ingine leave to your mechanic and the petrol station guys - they mostly remove, dry and dip sticks after they open the bonnet, at times they add some water in a container labeled washer.
The mechanics are also weird guys all I see them do is take the jack and place it on the car body next to the wheels, there is usually a mark where they fit it, then they loosen the bolts and lift the car then remove the bolts and then the wheel. they then look at some little pad like things, then they look further in at some things that look like arms and proclaim that the bushes are ok.
there are more things they do I would need several pages to detail what I see them do - but as long as you can manage to turn the radio sound low periodically you will know when something goes wrong
