Most of all the maintenance you can do yourself, with patience. The clutch is not that hard...you remove the rear bumper skin, the exhaust, and cables plus the rear motor mount. You, of course need tools and the only one you will need to buy is the engine support and that one you can get for about $50 bucks at National or Harbour Freight. I assume you have a jack, jack stand and metric tools. Plugs are snap, oil very easy, fuel filter no problem, engine & cabin filters no problem, serpentine belt is real easy. Brakes, rotors, wheel bearing easy. The real time consumer is the clutch replacement since you need to remove your axles. Now, with the engine back exposed replace the rear main seal. Some guys are changing out IMS bearing but you really need to know what and how do it plus more tools here. Best of luck on your DIY's.
