Going to do my first oil change soon. Just curious, has anyone did it without jackup up the rear of the car?

I don't relish the idea of crawling under any car supported by any jack. I'm average size and have changed my oil a number of times without jacking up the car. The filter is fairly easily accessed from behind the right rear wheel and the drain plug from in front of the wheel.

I use a pair of metal ramps, any auto store carries them for probably less than $25. Just back the car unto them and you will have plenty of room to play. Oil changes on the NSX are the easiest of any car I've owned.

I'm thinking you don't get all the oil out if the rear is that much higher than the front.

Is it necessary to take the rear wheel out to access the drain bolt or filter?

You've got to be kidding! Unless you are as concerned with your khakis looking as prissy as the Griot's Garage picture allows, just jack the car and do it by hand...

If you use the pump, do you still need to replace the crush washer? I couldn't tell from the directions, it seemed to suggest you still did, because replacing the crush washer was step 6.

I pour the used oil back in the empty oil containers, wrap it up in a black glad trash bag with the oil filter and discard it in the 7-11 trash receptacle
