Yeah and it comes with truck adapters which will give you about 6 more inches

Use one of these on your next change - and you can go a couple oil changes without changing the filter Mobil 1 says 20,000 but I wouldn’t do anymore than 10,000 but that’s still a few changes w/o screwing with the BS panel …

Ok so I just got through doing an oil change 700 miles, filtered the oil drain through cheese cloth looking for any contaminants or metal shavings, deposits…? Nothing found. Took about two and a half hours including test drive. The vehicle was on a four post lift 7 feet in the air. 20 minutes to get tools - set shit up, lift car, 35 minutes to take off the BS cardboard shield, which BTW just about every screw was fairly loose (from factory). About an hour to properly drain and wipe down mess from filter drop and put new Mobil 1 performance extended filter on, fill up with 10 quarts of Amsoil full synthetic extended life oil 5W-30W.

Drop - start, run, shut down, check dipstick. Raise, start, look for leaks, drop, take for 20 minute drive, - back in, check dipstick, raise, check for leaks, drop, check dip stick all good.

The extended Mobil 1 filter will allow me to two two oil changes w/o messing with changing the filter and BS cardboard shield

Thanks!

Couldn't be happier with this lift. Had another model before and didn't like it. This one is great and very sturdy.

I have the Quick lift it allows you to work on the center of the car. This lift does not look easy to take a transmission out. But love the yellow splash.

Agreed, i wasn't planning on transmission work but had to get creative when i decided to do the short shifter myself.

How long are you going to leave that amsoil in there?

If a filter is lasting longer, it's just not filtering as well. I'd rather use a regular filter and change it every oil change.

That's a good work around but dam, how many trees did you kill to make them LOL.

The oil gets changed every 7000 miles and you can do it however you like - Mate ...

I hear ya, I like to get comfy and take my time.
First oil change took a long time, but just because i was taking a look at everything while under there and trying not to make a mess...
Here's how to get comfy:

It's always nice to be comfy while wrenching.

35 min for the panel? Lol are you like using a nut driver on every one?

Does anyone know part numbers for the fasteners that need to be replaced, so we can pre-buy them to have on-hand before first oil change?
