oil change ???

I have always done the oil changes on my tl. Dont trust the people at the mechanics. I have lowered my car and now have a oem bodykit. When I tried to do the oil change this time around I couldnt get the car up the ramps and when I tried a jack I couldnt get it under the car, car was too low. Any suggestions from people that have a lowered and bodykit tl? Thanks!

Lowered

Get a 2 x 8 and cut middle on a 45. Position angled ends in fron of wheels and run up to give you add'l clearance for jack. Might also work for the ramps. You may have to stack two pieces to get the clearance. Screw the pieces together for safety.

Or get the racing jack or the low rider ramps.

agreed a 2x8 works great for lowered cars.

Check around. Believe I saw them advertised in Autoweek. They are out there somewhere.
