I was just going to jack the front, good call on both sides.Scooba_Steve wrote:If it is - good lad, DIY is the mark of a loving ownerpvr wrote:Will this be the first outing of the jack then?
Tips (excuse teaching to suck eggs):
Don't rush
Don't get squashed
For an oil change I jack up onto ramps one side at a time. If I'm honest you can probably get away with just doing one side, though I found some 'wiggling' was needed each side to get the last little bit out.
Don't get a 14L pan like I did... you can't lower the car onto it!
Think I was going to go large on the pan, just to be safe - great insight
First time ever changing oil, always paid before...just hope I don't get any leaks, an expensive mistake on this engine if I get it wrong!
And yes, first jack usage too - chickened out before trying to clear the drains as the light gravel in the Tarmac kept making the jack jerk & basically got nervous - will man up & also put the jack on some ply so it moves smoothly on its wheels.
