Jack your car up to change the oil?

Just did my girlfriend's Geo Storm yesterday and it was so unbelievably easy, Reach behind the engine and pull off the filter - the drain plug is right up front where you can get at it.
I've got to get under the car to undo the plug on the RX7... At least the filter is upside-down so it's easy to get to.

 

mine has to be jacked up. It's too low to even think about doing it on the ground.

 

I just drive my car to work stand under it and it takes my like 3 minutes and its done.

 

Very easy on my k-car. Filter is on the very front of the engine in plain sight when you open the hood. There is plenty of room underneath to get the drain bolt. Lovely 1980's technology.

 

Supra is lowered, GT-S has a stock "sporty" suspension (and the PERFECT ride height too!!!) so both need to be lifted..the Supra much more so.

I know someone who cant even jack up his DSM and has to drive it up on blocks just to get the jack underneath

 

Im all for the 80's tech but after time and time again of my highschool friend's Aries breaking down i dont think i'd ever want to sit in another one of those cars... It was fun trying to get it to go faster than 80mph though hehehe.

We even had the transmission break a mount and fall halfway out the bottom of the car in the middle of rush-hour traffic. It left a huge red streak of tranny fluid down the middle lane of 49th street.

 

mine is an incredible PITA to change the oil, the drain plug is on the bottom back of the oil pan, the oil filter is up underneath the turbo sitting sideways on the back of the engine, at least the '98 isnt lowered though....but it couldnt be any more of a PITA than it is....makes me actually consider taking it to a jiffy lube or something to get it changed just so I dont have to deal with it, but I never will since they wouldnt know how much oil needs to be put in it anyway

 

Im never taking mine to a place like that either. My cousin told me about the time one of those places put synthetic in his RX7. I'd crack some skulls...

 

the civic is a pita for me, i jack it up and drain which is easy, the filter is kinda up in an odd spot to grab to pull off and when you do, it leaks all over everything

 

my 7 is so easy,put a couple of 2x4 under the left tire so I can get the pan under,I can take the bolt loose from the top,and the oil filter is uptop.
