If any of you change the oil in your RX8 yourself, what tips do you have? I used to have some steel ramps years ago when I had my '85 RX7, but sold them when I sold the car (that brings back memories of the up-side-down oil filter).

there are how-tos.. but you dont need ramps really. it's simple.

I trained a monkey to do it.

 

Do a search on "Oil Change" there's lots of good info here. I did it myself with the help of the DIY Oil Change for Dummies, and I didn't have a single problem.

Quick simple tip: Get the right tools, they help a LOT!

I've heard ramps work, but I used a jack so I could jack up the left side of the vehicle and get more oil to drain out. (it's all spelled out in the threads)

 

Will you rent out that monkey? I'll supply the oil/filter/tools. :D

 

Well....you must have gone ape-**** during the training :D

 

Btw, if your monkey does a bad job on an oil change and makes a mess, please don't spank your monkey :p

 

OK, this is starting to sound like a Lounge thread, and the question has been answered. So rather than moving this to the Lounge, I've closed it before it gets any sillier.
