Thread: Oil Change on a 3.1L V6

Last time I used the e brake in my dads car it broke in the cable and got jammed on so I just unhooked it and never missed it. So I don't trust them anymore

thats just dumb thinking. if they work they work, if they dont fix them.

stuff gets old rusts and breaks. fix the cable.

also a unused e brake will break before one thats used every now and then. if you use it here and there, you'll know if its working or starting to fail some how. dont use it and then need it and surprise, no brake, locked up or dragging e brake, see where i m going ?

I use my ebrake even when parking in my flat driveway. I just don't like the car sitting on the park prawl.

i park in the same spot for like 4 years now, as i back into my spot it put it neutral and it rolls into its 4 holes its made over time. then i toss it in park.

i also have a window behind my car, so when the pass side reverse light is 1/2 way gone in the rear view, im squarely in my spot too.

Just put them on the subframe it will be fine, that's what I do

if your rockers are rusty dont use them, always look for solid steel. the frame where the lower control arms bolt on is a perfect bar to use.

why not drive the car up them and call it a day?

ive never used jack stands for a oil change, always use the ramps. my trucks were nice. slide under drop the pan bolt. ground clearance what a concept.

clamp or bolt a 2x4 to the end so it acts like a wheel stop, or have some one guide you.
