The ony problem with that I believe is the drain plug is in the front?? Jacking up the front would cause all the oil to drain to the rear of the pan which wouldn't let me drain all the oil. Anyone else have any solutions? I'm not to happy bringing it somewhere, don't trust them!!

Hmmm.... maybe ramps for the front, then jack the back up to get it level again? Might be kind of sketchy though.

I recently just changed my oil and it was quite easy. Drove it up on rhino ramps, removed the cover (10mm socket), took off oil filter, removed oil drain plug (17mm), let it sit to drain for a while, fill new oil filter w/ oil then attach to car, put oil drain plug back in w/ crush washer, fill it up and be done.

I think that im a little over 900 miles so im changing mine soon.

My driveway is sloped so i guess i'll use ramps and just count on the driveway to level out my car.

I just had my oil changed today at 3213 with mobil 1 EP and some Lucas oil and it is already dark. I only put about 20 miles on it and it is almost black. I can't believe this.

What did you do to clear the top of the ramp? I have a set of Rhino ramps I used for my other cars, but the front bumper on the Evo sits too low and would scrape before the tires even touch the ramp.
