I have to drive the car on blocks, then ramps in order to get the car up. If you can do it then good for ya man lols. But you must have a mighty 4x4 there=P

How come when you drain the oil, you only get about 3-4 quarts back?

I know I was still in the good to go area of the dipstick when I changed it, and I also konw that you will not get 100% out, but still...

that seems like a lot, and the car took 5 quarts back in.

LOL I have to drive up on a piece of 2x6 and have a friend lift up on the fender just to get a jack under my car.

You must be skinny. I am too wide to fit under my GT without ramps (best money I ever spent, by the way).

I had to put my car on jack stands to install a chin spoiler, I couldnt even imagine tryin to change the oil without it lifted up in some way. You definatly need to lower your car lol
