Oil Change and jackstands

[SPF2245]

I know I'm going to take fire on this one...
I take my car to Jiffy Lube (stop laughing). After checking with a bunch of shops, I made friends if you will with the manager. He allows me to bring the car, my oil and my filter. He does the work, for $20 under the table. He enjoys the work, the car isn't suspended over my head with hot oil spilling back on me...and I get the job done right. I can also clear the guides for the 'pit by 1.5 inches...which makes this a no lift required affair. Give it some thought, it sure beats when I used to try and do this myself and I can usually talk him into watching from under the car and check all the fittings and connections.

I got a pair of low profile ramps at auto zone. They have rubber feet on them and do not slip. They were cheap and work like a charm.
