Inserts, air filters, and cabin filter you can do with the car on its wheels. May need a screwdriver, pliers, or wrench depending on how the filter is designed.

CVT you’ll need to get under the car–that can be ramps if you’re skinny or jack stands and jack if you’re not. Figure 150 or so for a good set of jack stands (don’t cheap on those–if they break you can end up with a car on top of you), ramps, and a drain pan. They’ll last you the rest of your life if they don’t get stolen so consider it an investment.

Brakes figure taking one wheel off at a time. You may be able to get at the bleeders from underneath the car but I find it’s easier with the wheel off. You’ll need another person to push the pedal to pump the replacement fluid through while you open and close the bleeders–it’s a two person job to do it right. One tool you’ll want is a six-point box wrench that exactly fits the bleeders (they’re easy to bugger up). Not a bad idea to get a package of dust caps for them (super cheap)–I usually manage to yeet one of them off into the same dimension that socks in the dryer inhabit. You’ll also need a piece of clear hose and a jar to catch the fluid. Watch for the color change–the old fluid will be noticeably darker than the new fluid. Again youtube is your friend.

Oh, while you have the wheels off inspect the pads and replace if needed.
