Hi All

Here's a slightly off subject question from a noobie.

How do you lift the S to get under it at home for the oil change?

ramps? jacks?

thanks,

Jeff

i use a ramp, at stock height with no lip its a little tough but do-able, now that im lowered, dont think thats gonna work anymore

Mine has consistently hit ~40% around 5K miles. I am not changing my oil every 10k miles. F the stupid minder. But I don't want to get into that discussion again.

The poster has an 05 anyway so just keep to a 5K schedule.

3500 km !!?? 2160 miles!! You are just wasting time, money, and oil. And no, not just my opinion, pretty much the opinion of every professional tribologist in the world.

5000-6000 miles on quality synthetics here with oil analysis every 25K or so.
