DIY 1995 corolla oil change questions

[jokgga]

I have a 1995 rolla and was planning on doing the oil change by myself
Do i have to lift the car or is it possible to change the oil without lifting it?
Also can i just use the one lift that is in the trunk or do i need to get more?
Where is the oil filter and drain plug located?
thanks a lot everyone

if you gotta ask those questions, then leave it to a professional to do it. there can be to many things that you can overlook and screw up.

But not to sound too cruel, no the jack isnt enough, the car has to be level, the drain plug is located on the passenger side of the oil pan, the oil filter is behind the manifold.

when you get the screw off, to let the oil out, be careful it doesn't get all over your clothes. obviously you need a contrainer that will hold the drained oil, as it is draining. i dont see a way you'd get to the oil filter if the car hasn't been raised. (its hard to reach it). let us know what you do!

And remember...(damn, can't find the pic)....used motor oil makes great fertilizer.

Never work under the car with just that trunk jack! Get ramps.
