I have a suction thing that hooks up to my air compress. Plus having BMW's the filters are on the top of the engine. I don't even have to get under the car. Even when I had my s2k the filter could be reached without getting under the car. I can change the oil faster than jiffy lube. Plus I can make sure I put the right oil in. You can also get ones that don't require and air compressor, just make sure you get one that can be used with synthetic oil. I know a few of them that their seals get worn away by sythetic oil, or are said to be. Just what I heard.

Also Harbor freight sells a small jack that is great for slammed cars. It's a blue one that I use. It can actually really jack a car up.

Motive makes the one that looks like a garden pump sprayer, popular with Jetta crowd.

I just picked up that 1.5 ton blue compact jack (only one handle on side) for $70 on Saturday. Works pretty well.

I'm guessing it's $70 if picked up from a retail store?

it was on sale this past weekend. look for the coupons, there should be one around that may still be valid until the end of the month. that's the one.

Thats the mini jack I have. It can even lift my M5, but I sure would not recommend it! You can hear the thing struggle on a 4k pound car! Great for a light weight car(s2k, m3). You can definitely get it for around 70-80 dollars, its always on sell. Plus, its just plain cool looking. I can also a car enough to put a jack under the car. The 2*4 trick is also a gimmic I use!

The motive is the one most people recommend, but I have seen the seals break down if its constantly used with synthetic oils. I have not directly had this happen to me though, as I use the big boy toy. Then again, their brake bleader works great with brake fluid, so this makes no sense to me....Ponder at your own will.

Oops, I have a bad sentence in there. I can also use that jack to lift a car enough, to put a big jack where it needs to go. Do this at your own risk!

Computer_Nerd

use a jack to lift it, jack stand to support it. that's the safe way.
