watup guys,

i was wondering if it's okay to change my oil if i raise the front end of my s2000 on 2 jack stands. i'm concerned because since the car is on an angle, will not all the dirty oil drain out? also, any tips or advice on changing oil? any input is appreciated...thanks!

Just make the drivers side higher than the passenger side. Y not just jack the left side up?

from what vincewchan posted, the write-up implies that you jack up the right side where the drain bolt is accesible, and "lower back down for proper drainage"

and SOHCmyDOHC, you're saying that i should jack up the driver's side, but wouldn't that make it hard to get to the drain bolt?, my s2000 is slammed on tein flex's also

i'm still confused

any help is appreciated...thx

You can't do it in one motion. For you being lowered, raise the passenger side and put it on a jack stand. Then, raise the driver side higher and brace with a slightly taller stand.. Then you can crawl under, remove the bolt and drain it.

^^^but wouldn't the car still be at an angle since only the fronts are raised?

i think you should just pay someone to change your oil. your giving this way too much thought. it takes a whole 10 minutes to do an oil change and this thread is going on 8+ hours

No it won't if you jack it high enough. You being slammed might actually help cuz the right side will be lower. I just jacked the front left (maybe even the rear left IIRC cuz it was in the air and I was scared a little) and put stands on them. I then crawled under the car an reached over to the drain bolt and unbolted it. Just make sure you have a low profile oil pan. The filter was also cool since the car was leaning.

BTW I got all 6 quarts out with it being raised on F/R left side
