Requesting preventive maintenance guides
 
So far I have about 6k miles and only maintenance I've done on it is oil change and totally overlooking other maintenance listed on the service and maintenance guide. Is now a good time to bring it in to the dealer or are the other maintenance easy enough to do on my own?

Check the air filter; if excessively dirty, replace.
Typical DIY checks:
Check all fluids (brake, water coolant, wiper reservoir, manual clutch fluid and top off as needed). If low, check for any leaks
Inspect brake rotors/pads for uneven wear
Inspect tires for uneven wear
Check tire lug nuts for correct torque - re-tighten as needed
Check tire pressure in all tires including spare tire
Check all hoses clamps are tight per specs

It any leaks, engine running issues, take it to the dealer to check any codes and service your Z as necessary.

Two questions:
~What is a reliable tire pressure gauge (digital)?
~Is there a way to read any errors, not just the code given? Meaning I got some code but no way to know what it is referring to?

Thanks.
