7 Tools You Need for a DIY Oil Change
Car Jack
Your car may already have a jack with the spare tire. It’s only meant for changing a tire, not elevating the car to work on the engine. It’s better to have a floor jack for lifting the car high enough for you to get underneath.
Floor jacks with wheels for towing and a hydraulic hand pump are convenient and most common. This BlackhawkService Jack can lift 3-1/2 tons up to 20 inches off the ground. It does, however, weigh 85 pounds, not super light to pull around.
Lighter on the arms and the wallet is the Pro-Lift Hydraulic Trolley Jack. It weighs 18 pounds and can lift 1-1/2 tons up to 12 inches.
