Echo vitz hatchback change oil without jack ?

[scratchpaddy]

I don't have any issues changing my oil without a jack, in the parking lot of my apartment complex. Mine is a '09, but the engine is the same. The drain plug is right there on the side, instead of in the back like most cars. Makes it really easy to reach. The oil filter is easy to grab, too. Heck, it's safer to skip the jack, anyway. No chance of the car falling on you.

Go for it.

is it true

It is necessary to change oil to hot temperature

Not burning temp, but hot

cold is not good

you need to apply the Goldilocks Rule

Not too hot, (burns!) not too cold (doesnt contain all impurities)

JUST RIGHT! (warm)
