From what I have seen on most of the forums, most people do their 5000km services at home (i.e. change the oil and filters) and once in a while takes it to a mechanics shop to get a full service done (i.e. 10000km).

Now I know that some people also do their 10000km service at home, but for my warranty purposes I have to get the stamp from the mechanics shop every 10000km's.

So my question is how does one perform this "back yard" servicing? I know how to change the oil and swap over filters? Is there anything specifically that I should be doing, should not be doing? Just after a simple guide for doing this servicing instead of having to fork out for labour at these shops.

The minor services aren't that hard to do.

Oil and oil filter (As you mentioned)
Air filter
Radiator flush (If you CBF)
