Does anybody have any good ideas on how to jack up the S2000 for an oil change? My current jack is too high. I came up with only two ideas.

1) Buy a low profile jack.

2) Lift up the side with the factory jack so I can push my normal jack in the center.
But this is time consuming and a hassle.

I sifted through the forum but could not find anything. I guess I am the only moron out there who can not figure how to change the oil in my own car.



Please help....

 

lmao when i read the title i thought this was about stealing an s2000...

 

Lol...corrected that by adding more info...

 

Drive each front wheel up on something a few inches high, 2X4" wood blocks, old books, ext. until it is high enough to fit the jack under.

Make sure to secure the car on jack stands. You realy do not want the jack to fail or the car to fall off it when you are under it.

 

I recall reading a thread about this a while back, there is a very low profile jack out there that easily allows you to reach the front and rear central jack points (ie not the ones on the side, right behind the front wheels/in front of the rears). A few guys have this jack and swear by it, the only downside was the cost (around $200 I think) and the weight (heavy, like 50lbs I think). Search is down but I'll see if I can find it and post the link. Other than that, you're choices are as stated above, either use the factory jack or use wheel blocks.

 

These are the official lift points:

On the front sides its the second one, closest to the centre of the car.

 

Its the Omega jack.....and too bad its waaaaaay heavier than 50lbs...

 

I do this, more or less. However, I have two floor jacks, which is a lot better than using the emergency jack in the trunk.

 

Omega, that's it. Yikes, my memory is fading with age, way heavier than 50lbs., here is the link:

The weight of omega jack is not much of a concern for me but it would seem like this is probably the best option to go.

Here is a youtube link to the omega jack demonstrated on a S2.
