Don't ever go under a car with the hydraulic jack holding it.. You'd be amazed how many limbs and lives are lost each year due to this Darwin Award.

@user-vs8tq2np2h ESCO jack stands with pinch weld adapters. Ramps for certain types of jobs. Hydraulic jack is for lifting and lowering only.

I get scared everytime. I personally use ramps, I do put Jack's under the sides and chock the rear wheels. I want 0 issues. It already makes me hella nervous to get under the car but I do enjoy working on my own car too.

I use ramps for oil changes, but for anything else, I would use Jack stands.

Word of advice. Cold oil is thick oil. The hotter the oil is when you do the oil change, the better it drains. Also, if you want you can run a quart of fresh oil through while the drain plug and filter are off to help clean out any old oil left behind.

HOT TIP FOR COMMENT SECTION: REMOVE OIL FILTER FIRST AND THE OIL WILL DRAIN FASTER! (and not get oily and harder to remove later)

You should start the engine before you put the cover on and lower vehicle to check for leaks from drain plug and filter

Did you only Jack up the front passenger side of the vehicle? Do you not need to Jack up the rest of the car?
@dmosk2002

Front passenger side is enough to guam access to the engine oil drain plug and filter. Make sure you secure with jack-stands.

Why didn't you clean off the oil base before putting on new filter?

Why wouldn't you just remove the oil filter before you remove the drain plug?

Never thought of doing that. I would imagine that it would be more messy.

No jack stands or ramps with chocks behind the rear wheels? Talk about safety down the drain. I use a combination of chocks on the rear wheels, jack stands *and* leave the floor jack in place on one side. I really enjoy my chest to stay in a non-caved-in state...

Good advice, but notice the caption in the video at 0:24 stating jack stands were used and the jack stand top left corner of the screen at 2:02. I also leave the jack.

Thank you - for '' the heads up ''. As my next vehicle will be a Mazda 3. My present vehicle is a 2005 ford estate 1600 zebec. With nearly 240 000 on the clock. Regular oil changes maintain the longevity of ANY vehicle.
