I want to change the oil in my car, and need to lift my car up from the front to reach the oil pan. Which jack is more suitable, trolley jack or bottle jack, and how many of each will I need? Thanks.Trolley jack or bottle jack for car oil changes?
a trolly jack would be more stable as a bottle jack could be more unstable to work under a carTrolley jack or bottle jack for car oil changes?
Trolley jack more stable - use with axle stands or other solid props or even better a set of short ramps. Make sure handbrake firmly on/chock rear wheels.
Ps Dont lose the drain plug!
Don't use a jack or any other lifting device.
Simply too dangerous. Have a garage or quick lube shop change your oil.
Neither should be considered as completely safe, you should never go under a car unless it is on level ground and supported on axle stands
Bottle jack is dangerous.Trolley jack and blocks of wood or trestles under the body or suspension member is what you need to be safe from the car falling on top of you
