I normally would do this by myself but I just moved and my garage in my rental unit is a single car garage, hardly big enough to jack up a car. Where do you guys take your cars to get your oil changed? I'm looking for full synthetic prices. Thanks!

 

You could buy a mityvac, and suck the oil out through the dipstick.

Lots of times, the dealers actually have pretty good prices for oil changes. I am not a fan of dealers at all, but on this one, they are usually very competitive.

 

Just checked the mityvac info, says shouldn't be used with synthetic, will lead to leaks =/

Thinking of getting some ramps and possibly doing it myself but unsure of the safety of ramps.

 

Interesting. Guys on the m5board have been using them for years with nary an issue. Go figure.

 

what city or area are u looking at? There are a bunch of shops in SJ/Milpitas area that are tuner friendly. Some in the SF area as well

 

Oh forgot to mention my new area. I'm currently in Hayward.

 

I used to do my oil changes in my single car garage in my apartment. I didn't jack it up and just reached under and did it with the car on the ground. If it's a sport it's probably a PITA because the bumper hangs lower. Mine's a base. I dropped it and now I can't do that anymore lol

I'd just get some good ramps and do it there. Back the car in the garage so the front's facing out the door and pull it up on ramps. It's not like you need to get to the sides of the car to do the change.

I might be joining you in Hayward soon myself

 

Lay down a few dbl 2x6 pieces to roll front wheels up on. Plenty of room.
