a. Engine: crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, camshaft, valves, oil pump, carburetor, fuel injectors, ignition distributor, fuel distributor, electrical system including alternator, battery, and regulator

b. Difference between standard transmission and automatic transmission and how the engine torque is transmitted to both kinds of transmissions; the purpose of overdrive

c. Difference between rear wheel drive and front wheel drive

d. Difference between drum brakes and disk brakes, standard brakes and power brakes, and the parking brake


5. Perform typical automotive maintenance as listed below:

a. Check engine and transmission oil levels.

b. Check water/anti-freeze level. Change and flush the cooling system.

c. Change engine oil and filter.

d. Change a tire/wheel assembly, following proper safety procedure.

e. Lubricate the chassis according to the vehicle service manual.
