How do you guys change your own oils?
Don't you need a machine that pulls your car up, so you can get under the car and change the oil?
I'm very knowladgeable!

As far as oil goes, I've used every brand of 5W-30 syntethic oil out there From Toyota to Mobil1 to Wal-Mart Super Tech. With my car doing 155,000 miles, I've done 30 oil changes @ 5000 miles and each oil change, I use one Toyota oil filter, 3qts of Wal-Mart Super Tech 5W-30 oil and 1qt of oil stabilizer. And my car idles and run as smooth as the first day I bought it.

lmao....I made the mistake of using my ramps when it was raining...my tires gripped them too well, and slid one underneath my civic and left a nice dent in the stop at the top of the ramp...from the rail...



oh and no harm done on the 'cocktail' its like mixing 2 flavors of gatorade powder together....it may look different, taste different, but it's still gatorade...
