Are you confident that you have the tools and knowledge to complete the oil change, once you get it off the ground ?

You cant use raceramps with this car to change the oil. Have you seen the position of the oil drain plug and the shape of the pan? It wont drain fully.
Why can't you use raceramps? If the front is higher than the back it will drain even better than if it were level. Interestingly the plug isn't right on the bottom of the pan. I have a lift in my garage, just changed the oil, and even after I purposely raised the front more than the rear, I used a 60mL syringe with a tube attached, place in oil pan and was able to get about 60mL out (my OCD, bothered me that there is some oil left below the plug, although less than 1/10 of a liter isn't much in a car that holds 10 quarts). Never seen a car before that didn't have the plug at the absolute lowest point, strange.

I will put the jacking rails on soon for the purpose of changing tires in the future. There is no way in hell a moron from a quickie tire shop who may have a high school diploma is going to touch this car, I will place it on stands and put all 4 wheels in my truck to get them there. Even then things can go wrong, I bet there is a strong chance some jackass puts wheel weights on the outside edge of the rim.

<--Has actually changed his oil and looked under the car.

Wait, which way is the plug facing? I thought it was facing to the front of the car? If its facing the other way, its even better.

Please make it stop.

Unplug your internet, go read your manual front to back 3 times, jack up your car and scope it out for a few hours. You will be amazed its likely not at all in line with your assumptions/illusions.

Front of the car, HOLY HELL stop now. Sorry dude, at first I was thinking, "why is everyone being so mean," now I know they were just trying to protect you and the car.

I have race ramps, and yes oil will completely drain, that's how i did my oil change just last week.

Also, as others have mentionned, get Steeda jacking rails if you want to jack the car up and not damage the pinch welds , or if you don't want to get jacking rails, get some jacking pucks.

If its facing front of the car and you drive on to race ramps to raise the front how are you supposed to drain all the oil?

Seriously....

It does not face the front of the car, its rear facing right next to the tranny, huge yellow plug, even you wouldnt be able to miss it.

Jesus dude, please don't post another thing until you read your owners manual, you are seriously sounding like a grade A dunce right now.

I asked which way its facing, I was told front. If its facing front, naturally I assumed when I drive on the race ramps it will be facing backwards.

Y'all could just kindly point this out and save me and yourselves the trouble.

Thanks anyways, I ll use my ramps.
