The 2003 Chevrolet S10 is an extremely easy car to maintain, and a good choice for the average car owner. Both of the fuse boxes are easy to reliably access on this vehicle. You only need to remove one cover to access either set of fuses, allowing you to troubleshoot electrical problems easily on this vehicle. The brake fluid level is easy to check on this vehicle, as the maximum and minimum level markers are very visible in the engine bay. The oil level is no problem to check, as the oil dipstick is easily accessible in the engine bay.
Some things are difficult on the 2003 Chevrolet S10. In order to access the headlight on this vehicle, you will have to completely remove the housing for access. While not too difficult, you will have to remove a few screws in order to remove the tail light housing. This can be tough, as the screws can grow rusted, and be difficult to turn, over time. To access the air filter, you will have to loosen a few screws in order to lift the housing. This is more difficult access than you’ll find on other similar models.
