Changin Oil with kit on

[blacknightteg]

alright so i have my lip kit on and well, its going to be a bitch and a half to get up my ramps so i can change the oil, any idea's on how the hell im going to do this? i would just use a jack and some stands or something, but i dont have jacks or stands haha, so yeah, give me some idea's please cuz i dont want to go to some place and pay 40 bucks unless its the only thing possible. sorry if this is a stupid question, but i wana know what i can do so that i can get into a habit of doing it now that i have a kit on.

[Dudeman]

use wood to raise it up some before you roll on the ramps

[blacknightteg]

yeah but i mean i would think it would still want to scrape it cuz a peice of wood is still small and you have a lot of ramp to go up....

[Hektik]

use ur stock jack to raise it enough to slide the ramps underneath. but u eithger have to get a second jack from another car or do one side at a time.... ur best bet tho is in the future buy a jack for a lowered car and some stands... also u can buy the oil u use and go to a shop and pay them 10 bucks to just change the oil...

[drmcivicsi]

lol a piece of wood or 2 would do it just fine just a 2x4 or a 2x6

[blacknightteg]

[boostedb16]

Eh I say just buy the oil and take it to a place to do it for $10 bucks. Shit saves you the time and I mean it's only $10...

[SKUNK2GUY]

take offf the im and change it from the top. lol g/l. low profile jack yo! sear has them.

[Hektik]

or if ur really picky about it take of the front bumper should give u enough clearance to get up on the ramps without fucking it up...

[speedminded]

[blacknightteg]

huh....so most shops will change my oil?

[Halfwit]

any oil shop will change your oil.

[blacknightteg]

well lemme know one around snellville/loganville/grayson/lawrenceville where i only have to pay them 10 bucks and ill do that lol cuz thats all i can really afford right now.

[TIGERJC]

god it cant be that hard to change the oil on a INTEGRA. If I lived near u, I would come over and do it for u

[blacknightteg]

na its not that, i mean i have changed my oil countless times on my own, its just the matter of not having to take off the front lip so that i can get up my ramps. thats the only thing man

[speedminded]

na its not that, i mean i have changed my oil countless times on my own, its just the matter of not having to take off the front lip so that i can get up my ramps. thats the only thing manthe bumper comes off in 3 minutes.....by far less time than it takes to make and reply to this thread....all you need is a phillips screwdriver and 10mm socket (preferably with an extension and swivel to make life easier) 3 MINUTES tops.

[blacknightteg]

n zip ties lol

[drmcivicsi]

dude get off your lazy ass and go buy a low profile jack and when u done just take it back and say it didnt work

[speedminded]

n zip ties lollol, $3-5 for a huge bag from Harbor Freight or Northern tool :D

[blacknightteg]

lol.

[devin]

the only thing is that most shops dont have a rack you can get your car on, except a split rack, thats the oonly rack i can get my car on, and even then we have to lift up on the fenders to slide the rack under it. just buy some oil and filter and go to a place that has a pit, and pay like 10-15bucks.

[gtikid]

It's not that it's hard. Just paying $10 saves more time, especially if he doesn't have the right tools. Wow does changing your oil make you a man or something? :rolleyes:

[Whitebandit]

Take it to a oil change shop and if they fuck up something they will buy you another one but if you do it and fuck up something you buy it... Any questions?

[blacknightteg]

lol....yeah but you have to pay like 40-50 bucks after gettin your shit changed....i dont really feel like doing that....im just going to probably take off my front bumper and do it...ima worry about it tomorrow..fuck it lol.

[gtikid]

if you want it done and/or done right you have to do it yourself.

True...very true. I completely agree with you. Thats why I take it to a place I trust :D

[blacknightteg]

lol...i think im just goin to end up takin the bumper off tomorrow. and changing the oil.

[SKUNK2GUY]

god forbid you get a flat

[SKUNK2GUY]

oil pit FTW!

[blacknightteg]

god forbid you get a flat


wtf does that have to do with anything? lol. anyays, i already changed my shit, ended up taking the lip off anyways cuz im gunna re-harden the back of the lip.

[Blackknightg]

It means that if you are having this much trouble with just a oil change "god forbid you get a flat".lol I use 2x4's and get it on a lift, but it should also work with your ramps. It might make them lean back though. I've seen a muffler shop have some really long ramps to clear lowered cars. You should still be able to jack your car up. I think you are making this more difficult than it needs to be. And change your sig name.lol j/k
