And by love I mean dread. lol

#lowlife oil change. I like changing oil its getting her up there such a pain.

Anyone has any easier suggestions?

 

is it the same process taking it off the ramp using the books? or you can easily back it down that's alot I know its worth it a priceless feeling when changing your own oil but with your addition lowered + kit you should have the dealer change it imo tho so you dont damage anything or get hurt in the process unless someone is spotting you to get it up correctly (pause). Get the ramps that are lower than the yellows ones you have I think advance have the black ones that has low inclines..

 

i do the exact same thing except i use these concrete blocks that normally border a garden, like this:




not much else you can do. I always have someone else there to make sure I'm straight, i've gotten pretty used to it. I hear beams of wood would work fine too.

 

a low pro jack will be easier.

 

What ^^^ said.

I bought one from HF a while back that is low profile but also extends up to 24". That way I could get under the TL but also get the back or front wheels of my wife's Pilot off the ground at the same time. I expect I'll be able to do the same with our new Odyssey when the time comes for its first oil change.

 

Yeah I agree with both these guys above me. I picked up a low profile jack from Harbour Freight as well and it goes just as low as a stock jack. Perfect for us super low guys. Makes the work 10x faster and easier. It's still boxed up though haha.

I should of bought it along time ago when I had my crushed TSX. Im so use to using stock jack just to get my regular 3.5 ton jack underneath my cars. I paid $80 for the jack and its high quality. They have them on sale currently I believe. I receive their add all the time.

 

if you get the steel low pro jack from HF it'll jack the car up with two pumps.

the aluminium version needs more muscle to jack up

but its sooooooooooo much easier than messing with ramps.


I chose the small portable aluminium version of the low profile jack from HF


buy another set of stands and you could have the car up on all 4 corners easily.

 

also, get the highest lifting low pro jack available.

i didnt catch the lift height and wish it went up another 2 or 3 inches.
nothing a self made stair stepper out of wood cant fix but still, would love if i bought the higher lifting version

 

I say install a lift in your garage!

 

Get a wide board about the size width of your tire about 8ft long cut a piece about 4 ft long and another piece 2ft long and another piece 1ft long and screw them together on top of each other like stairs and drive on up easy simple and cheap just got to go to Home Depot or any hardware store that sells wood. Buy two 8ft pieces because your going to need them for both tires
