I know this is retarded but please amuse me.

I'm changing the oil for the first time on my s2k.

The jack point in the front is located where?? i cant seem to find it, i dont want to lift the car from the wrong spot and mess my new car up. pics if possible thanks.

 

You have to open your eyes first. Dude look at the pinch welds underneath. Up by the front tire there is a part which has reinforced metal. There it is viola. Don't forget to use jack stands after you jack it up.

To be honest, its more important to mention that you need to either a) jack the entire car up so its level on 4 jack stands or b) jack the car up on the drivers side with a emphasis to the front because the oil drain bolt is on the side of the block facing front. If you jack the front of the car up only, you wont get a drop of oil out of it.

Edit - you could also jack up the front, remove the bolt and then carefully lower the car down on top of an oil pan, as another alternative.

 

you dont need a jack...

roll the car up on a piece of wood (2x4 type) and slide a pan tray under it.... yes it fits and work from up top!

 

serious?

You can undue the the plug and replug from up top?

Im so jelouse I want one so bad. But my parents need to rebuild the garage first.

 

I personally use a pair of composite ramps (40.00) at O'reillys to change my oil and it actually helps because the car is slightly tilted back so the oil drains a little better and it also clears a path for the oil in the filter to hit the drain pan without hitting any other components under the car.

 

It's common sense. Look under the car and put your education to good use.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the owner's manual clearly illustrate the methods of jacking up your car?
