#1 ) Farfignuugenized Vehicle information labels with ambiguous alpha numerical code ID (even on a 2010 Toyota Camry) doesn't even tell you time of day, a clear basic displacement size of the engine( not buried in other nonsense) , let alone give you a spark plug gap anymore.
#2 ) Sealed Transmissions without a dipstick or drain bolt that manufacturer claims to have lifetime fluids and just inspect the fluid level every 30K, and no one will bother because it's a PITA process to do so.
#3) purposely creating some of the strangest funky shaped oil filter housing covers that requires a unique proprietary tool to remove and do a LOF in a timely matter without potential damage.
#4) Removal of access to a coolant block drain to get more old coolant out and service information is still showing that the car has a block drain in a real lousy illustration , yet doesn't showing a real good illustration view of it in a picture of it just to the side of the thermostat housing omitting any real important notes that the coolant block drain may no longer be found on vehicles built after a certain date or produced in different regions.
I could see on the casting where the block drain hole would have been drilled , had one been there. This is a family member's car and I took out the thermostat and tilted the car to the right side to get more coolant out ,but if the auto repair information was correct and up to date for the model I certainly wouldn't have removed the lower radiator hose to bother searching for something that was no longer there
