Stock jack on the side, just high enough to get the floor jack under the front.

Or drive up on a block like others have said. Depends on how low you are.

Exactly what I do, I use the first method at my house, but If I'm at my Dad's we have ramps so I'll drive up on them. I'm not crazy low though, 4" oil pan clearance on Ground Control's.

If you can't figure this out on your own, the struggle is real for you.

What's standard operating procedure for a situation like this? A line of salt around the server? Maybe a urine/cayenne pepper mix?

Use and oil extractor like I do for my e46s. You insert the tube where the oil dip stick goes and extract the oil, never have to get under the car = profit!

my e90 doesn't have a dipstick, its electronic. Should I feed the tube into the dash somewhere?


I just use car ramps with an intermediate ramp so the bumper doesn't smack them. Just use your noggin to what you have lying about that gives you more space to slide a jack under.

chuckled at this.. I think facebook is where all the honda guys go to defend their cars against the world. Always one bloke with the Honda VS Every car manufacturer in the word attitude.

They seem to be pretty scared of the search function.

What is your preferred method for draining the oil in a really low car? With a m50 swapped lowered e30, I had to custom make a super wide drain pan that could hold 6L of oil and still fit under the car.

I just wait till the car runs out of oil and fill to the top of the fill hole again.

Problem solved

Very cool story man, as if I was making the recommendation to you.

Electronic dipstick isn't going to be a problem for kids who concern themselves with ground flat drain plugs, paper thin subframes, and broken oil pans once a month.

Slightly out of budget.

arrange a series of 1x4s and 2x4s into a ramp

[Nick's e30]

I just air up. No one else does that?
