Quick Oil Change Q

when you guys do an oil change what do you do to give you enough clearance to get under the car. Is it just a matter of jacking up one side?

thanks for your tips.

 

Yes Ben ...

Or you can park over kerb/culvert, providing room to climb under and allow oil to drain into stormwater drain ... just joking But you get the idea.

Alternately, see NZR post re having wife/girlfriend do it for you. :LOL::LOL::LOL:

 

Buy/make some ramps or jack stands..!

 

cheers guys

and rob i did see the post in NZR very funny lets see how true it is :LOL:

i just drove up some car rackz...

but be very carefull when u are driving up them or down if ur car is lowered...very deadly

 

Good stuff

 

Jack up and remove the front right wheel.

You can then get good access to the sump plug and oil filter.

Cheers,

Peter

 

yes

I found that yes -- remove the front wheel it is so easy to get to.

 

Cheers for the tips

think i'll jack the car up and remove the front wheel sounds like the easiest route plus need to check out a clunk on that side so works well two birds in one stone :thumbsup:

Thanks Baz for the offer of the stands and trolley jack.

 

Ummm, It might be best to lift the left front wheel instead

so the oil sump plug becomes the lowest point and you get more of the old oil out....
