so for the hell of it maybe it was out of guilt? I bought a quart of their oil just to have as a top off oil.. |
Easy
Changing oil is quick and easy. I use plastic ramps from Harbor Freight. Is you use a jack get pucks so you don’t deform the flange jack points. |
You already got the important responses giving you the single lift points front and rear. I'll also echo the advice to get some ramps - they are very handy for oil changes.
I'm a big believer in changing your own oil. Of course, I wouldn't do it if they were free from the dealer or if I didn't have a garage. But changing oil is simple and gives you a chance to bond with your car and inspect the car from underneath - giving you a chance to plan for things like brake replacement or catch a small leak before it becomes a problem. |
