Just did my oil change today and what a breeze!

Made quite a mess on the first drain plug haha. Next time I know to put a old bed sheet down or something to protect the floors.

I put 8.5 quarts in and when I checked the oil it showed 3/4 full. Is that OK or should I top it off? Just read a story where a shop overfilled the guys car and its been in the shop for 3-4 days because of problems so wanted to avoid that.

Here's how I did mine. Race Ramps worked great and then was enough to jack up the fronts onto something to level it out. Going to invest in a QuickJack or something similar though.

I normally put in 8.5 check it and if its low I put the other .5 in and its alwas to the top.

Also how much did they over fill it to cause problems???

I just use ramps to change the oil. Whole job is less than an hour once acclimated.

HH, which model race ramps are those?

They are currently still at my parents place, I will check when I get them back to my garage.

It raises the car about 8" high which was actually surprisingly more room than I thought it'd be. I may buy a set of wheel cribs so I can use those instead of stacked bricks lol.

Thank you Sir

Quick Google search....

For oil changes... I just use a few stacked 2x8's staged to let the car car roll up.

It's a lot easier than my 993.

Surely a jack and 4 jack stands is a decent solution? Esco stands, some hockey puck jack pads and a low profile jack was one of the best investments I've made. Makes tinkering so much easier.
