11420, now that im lowered it was a pain to get an oil change
Posted by proDMD, Aug-09-02 04:12 PM
NO I dont change my own oil..just dont want to deal with it..I always went to Tech Lube one place had rails..no dice..the other Tech Lube just had pits but they had like bars going around them..again almost but I still hit..well after calling about 6 places..finally Jiffy lube pits fit fine..If I didnt find a place I was going to bring some 2x4 with me to Tech Lube on the one with the pit no and that would have worked. I also realize that tech lube is a local place in MA but its just one of those 10 minute oil change places. All you guys have the same problem to?

I've always done my own oil. It should be interesting to see if I can get my car up on my ramps w/o 2x4's with the prokits on now.

Haha....ramps are out of the question. I drive my front wheels on small 2x8s so I can get a jack under there.

Jiffy Lube = no ramps

If I have to go on a ramp I will take my bumper off first.

Hehe, I don't do my oil too. It comes free from the dealer where I got the car at. I dunno if it scrapes when they do it though. Yeah, there are a lot of things you can't do once ur lowered, like those cheap "100% hand car-washes". O well...

Satan's dealership is one of the few places that will do it for me. I had found a midas that finally said they'd do it, they didn't have a pit...I took it to them to change my belts. They had to use a ramp. So what they did was pull up to the ramp then had two guys on each side life it by the front fenders to clear the ramp. Dumbarses forgot to remove their rings..so I got chips on the wheel wells..
