Small bulbs that burn out regularly - did you know you can replace these with LED lights?
Don't send mixed signals - if your turn signal doesn't blink, or blinks rapidly, you likely have a burnt out bulb
On many cars, the high beam bulb runs at reduced power during the day - check 'em and change 'em!
Cars burn, leak and otherwise dispense of their oil. Check your level frequently and top up when necessary

Follow the steps in this video to see how to fix minor coolant (antifreeze) leaks in your 1990 Mazda B2200. Leaking coolant / antifreeze is one of the more common types of leaking fluid from B2200 engines. Engine coolant (which is also called antifreeze or anti-freeze) moves through the inside of your B2200 engine and keeps it from overheating. Coolant / antifreeze can leak from the reservoir, radiator or any hose, in 1990 B2200 with the 2.2 liter engine. However, a coolant leak (aka an antifreeze leak) is most likely to occur where the hoses connect to the engine or radiator. Otherwise, your B2200 may have a radiator leak. This video shows you where the coolant reservoir, hoses and connections on your 1990 B2200 Base are located and the steps needed to fix minor leaks.
A few things to note about coolant is that it is sweet tasting and highly toxic, so it can end up in the dog's stomach pretty quickly. If you ignore a small coolant leak long enough, you will run out of coolant, which leads to an overheated engine and other serious, but highly avoidable, problems. An anti-freeze leak can cause the temp sensor to record high engine temperatures in a 1990 Mazda B2200. Always protect yourself with safety glasses and gloves when working with the coolant on your B2200.
