If your car is too low to get the jack underneath it, buy some 2x12 boards and drive onto them with the front wheels. You gain 1.5" in clearance. If that's not enough, attach a 1x12 on top or another 2x12.

was able to finally do the oil change w/ the new low profile pittsburg jack.

it barely made it to the front jack point. im on stock w/ 17' wheels. it scraped just a lil bit of the liner from front of car (not bad at all).

bye bye ramp & hello to the jack.

have you bleed the jack since you purchased it? how long or how many times (estimate) did you use before bleeding it?

also, how often do you add hydralic oil in? will any generic hydralic oil work or which do you prefer?

thanks again
