This reminds me, I need to change the oil in my FC.. So, for the best results (no bending/damage) use plywood and cender blocks after you use the jacks to lift? Where's the best place to use the jacks for lifting?

 

also try not to open the doors when its on the lift or on jack stands, hard to get them to close

 

i like the tow hook if its just the front

I believe I use the same spot freestyle is talking about to jack the car with a jack, then I support the frame as far outboard and forward and aft as I can.



For a oil change I would just jack up one side and leave it on the jack, I know you should use jack stands or some ****, but we dont always do what we are supposed to do now do we? Once you take the drain plug out lower the car gently, then jack it back up again to put the drain plug back in.



If you have a shitty jack dont try this at home.

 

to jack it up to change oil...i just pop up the drivers side fender area with the arrow....



since oil change is quick...and im a risky kinda guy....i just jack it up, go under with my 19mm, pop an oil pan down and let the oil drain....i get out while its draining....when its done i slide down again and close the hole up with the bolt



its pretty fast though, so i dont worry about anything falling on me

 

twilight zone....wat just happened with rob and i post





btw i have a 3.5 ton jack so it holds a lot more load than a 1 ton

 

yeah, but they roll, the jacks that is.



i'll note the "wood under the car" idea as an insulator between my jack and the frame, and between my jackstands and the frame.



the ony thing that doesn't cause bending is teh stock mazda jack in the back...



and i have tried the "stick the jack under the door" idea, but then bends up that area soem.



oh well, i'll just live with a jacked up car

 

you jack off

 

lol, jack off..

 

try some of ur socks as insulation....i know u have high white half calf socks
