Oil change
Should I drive the front tires up two car ramps so i can get under the Mustang and change the oil? But then some of the oil won't drain out because the car is on an angle, right? Or will it even be enough oil left behind to make a difference?

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Think about all that oil that's left over in the engine anyways. It will make no reall difference IMO...

The more level you drain it at the better. But changing it on ramps is better than not changing at all. If you have no options go for it.

Who let the oil out?
I'm fortunate to still be skinny enough to just slid under the car to change the oil. No ramps needed and no risk of the car rolling down on me. Easy.
If you can fit under it comfortably, I suggest using this method for changing oil - on any car. |
