View Full Version : Oil change problem on lowered rx8 with mazdaspeed body kit NiGhtRx8er 07-29-2009, 04:14 PM For those who have a lowered 8 with the mazdaspeed kit, did you guys have a hard time taking your car in for an oil change because of the low height of your car? I tried taking mine today to a local shop and he said theres no way he can do an oil change on my car. Did you guys have this problem? Thanks in advance EMart11b 07-29-2009, 04:35 PM Buy ramps and do it yourself. invasion08 07-29-2009, 04:40 PM Do the oil changes yourself. Very simple to do. I do not know how low your car is but if you place small pieces of 2x4's right infront of all your tires and drive up on to them, it should give you enough room to get a jack under there. expo1 07-29-2009, 04:40 PM Buy ramps and do it yourself. Most store bought ramps will also be an issue, make your own low profile ramps. http://www.rx8club.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=80029&d=1150764511 I8U 07-29-2009, 04:43 PM Damn, those are some big f'ing ramps. LOL exsequor 07-29-2009, 04:49 PM nice i like that expo Twiztog43 07-29-2009, 04:53 PM wow, thats a bit much plus where do you put that thing? and how much does each ramp weigh? expo1 07-29-2009, 05:08 PM They are heavy, thats why I put wheels on them. I have a 2 car garage with a high ceiling. But driving up on them is easy. Jedi54 07-29-2009, 05:11 PM most oil place shops here have the underground bays so lowered cars shouldn't be a problem.

Mu ha ha............ invasion08 07-29-2009, 05:23 PM You have to be a big boy to haul those ramps around. Not for you teenagers. Mu ha ha............ Not really. He was smart and put wheels on the ramps. chickenwafer 07-29-2009, 05:25 PM I can get a jack only under the rear of my car (even a super low pro version) so I jack up the rear first, put it on a jackstand, then I have enough room to jack up the side and put a stand under. Easiest way I've done it thus far expo1 07-29-2009, 05:27 PM You have to be a big boy to haul those ramps around. Not for you teenagers. Mu ha ha............ They don't take up too much space. http://www.rx8club.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=143093&stc=1&d=1248906443 Razz1 07-29-2009, 05:40 PM That bunge wouldn't hold crap in a CaLiForNia earth quake. Perfect unusable spot you have there. invasion08 07-29-2009, 05:42 PM Expo1, Just not safe to store a LP tank indoors. 9krpmrx8 07-29-2009, 05:43 PM That is awesome Expo! expo1 07-29-2009, 05:51 PM Expo1, Just not safe to store a LP tank indoors.
