Oil change
 

http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/g...0391889131.jpg Made these at work in about half an hour, makes getting undertray off/ changing oil a lot easier, might increase height by another 2".:doubleup:

Does it really make that much difference? :???:

I made 4 of them so it lifts the whole car by about 3". My car has been lowered by about 1.5" which made things a bit tight.

trolly jack and axle stands??? :???:

Man bored at work i think lol

Yes mate + I am a tight git, never know where to place the trolley jack/axle stands?

Or use a nice set of ramps makes it even easier

True about postioning it does seem a bit tight under there, i wonder if this helps?

I have a set of car ramps but having front only up in the air effects oil level reading, or do you push car of the ramps to fill with oil?:drive:

For me i would put it up on the ramps and drain the oil out plus being in that position means the oil has a better chance of fully draining out. replace drain plug obviously, take it off the ramps or jack and fill when car is level to get a true reading.:geek:

Thanks majorscooby, looks a nice set of stands and trolley jack can I ask what make they are?

Lol, there not mine fella i nicked the pics from a google search. Looks like Craftsman on the label from what i can see, could be american but i have a good draper jack and stands that do the job. I just put a nice piece of wood between them and the car to stop any markings on the underseal.

yes m8 let it drain,then put new filter and sump plug back on and roll off ramps,refill and then look underneath for any leaks,if ok then screw plastic tray back up

Making sure you replace sump plug washer aswell!!:mrgreen:

What you never told me that lol

I have used the rubber bonded to metal sump washers on my last two oil changes,dont seem to be offered the compression type anymore? + only do the filter up hand tight- but always need to use the puncture with a screwdriver method to get the bast4rd off :???:

:lol: so true and why is that ?? :???:
