Golf4283 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I know this has probably been discussed but I am not in the mood to search right now at work. How do you guys change your oil? Sounds like a simple enough question but my car is just way too low to the ground to get under there and change it. Obviously I know how to change the oil once under there but I just want to know if you guys use jack stands or what everyone does to get under there. Thanks for any help and please no RTFM replies. I am at work and don't have access to it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golf4283 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 I dont know what a fumoto valve is but I'm gonna go look at some small ramps. I only need like another 5 inches or so off the ground. It's just too tight a squeeze right now for me to be comfortable under there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golf4283 Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 Yea I think I am going to go with the jack stands. I have another question What is the proper rotation method for tires on a awd car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBad Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Yea I think I am going to go with the jack stands. I have another question What is the proper rotation method for tires on a awd car? Front to rear rotation, no need to diagonally swap them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Front to rear rotation, no need to diagonally swap them. I beg to differ: http://www.thel7.com/TSB/05-37-07.pdf It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
