    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!

    Lopro jack + rolling car onto some wood. I didn't do ramps, just a few small pieces of wood, roll back onto them. sufficed to getting the jack under it.

    And the facebook jokes :rofl:

    If you have $850 laying around, then a Quick Jack 3500 might be right for you. Good for other stuff, too. They're only about 3" tall when collapsed.

    Harbor freight low profile jack works perfectly fine for me. Lift one side, drain, lower it back down. The rest is done from the top.

    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.

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