Jim: My children can all do the same, however we have reached a place and time, some of the parents don't know. Those folks missed the boat.
Your post caught my eye as I had a neighbor 35 years ago, undertook to explain those same basic items you list to his 5 daughters and 2 sons. He knew what he was doing, however his approach was so offencive, he turned the whole family.
One Sunday afternoon he was showing some of the daughters and a son how to rotate tires. From my patio, I could not see the proceedings as there was 500' of 6' corn between our houses. Soon, the son who worked for me weekends and after school, came wandering through the corn, asked if he could borrow my loader tractor. He told me one of his dad's automotive lessons went astray. His dad had jacked up left rear of car with bumper jack, placed 2x4 blocking under the axle, then went to other side with bumper jack. Dad had both rear wheels off when the whole thing fell over. Mike also suggested he take some of my 6x6 blocking and a chain along in the loader bucket. Poor dad, didn't hear the end of that one for a long time. Mike had to lift car with loader, block it safely and put the wheels back on. All the time, mother and daughters scolding dad. In spite of it all, I am confident all those 7 children can check liquids, change oil, grease car, change and rotate tires, etc., etc.
