Looking to do my first oil change on my first car this weekend and wanted to see if there's any suggestions for floor jacks and jack stands. I'm going back to college next week so money's kinda tight and I was thinking of just picking up a motomaster jack from canadian tire since its on sale (pic related) and 4 jack stands. Should I try to invest some more money into a better jack or will this do for the time being?

Also tools/equipment/setup thread I guess.

that would be fine for your needs but you only need two jack stands for an oil change

also you could just get a pair of ramps instead of a jack and stands if you only want/need to change the oil

i do ramps for fluid changes and i use my fathers big jack to lift my car if i need to

funny enough we actually have some shitty rusted out jack stands that still work, i think they are actually snap on jack stands from maybe the 50s or 60s, my grandfather used to own a service shop, and i use a lot of his old snap on tools

I was planning on getting a jack anyways since I'd be changing tires for winter and maybe doing my brakes later. I just don't know whether this jack will last or shit itself after lifting the car once.

i would get a low profile aluminum jack. lightweight is nice. I have 3-ton steel jack and it's heavy as fuck so it isn't very portable. ramps are ideal for oil changes

>That still work
I wouldn't want to be under the car when they decide they don't want to work anymore

I think the jack is a better than ramps as you can't do any work on the suspensions, tires or brakes.
Also it's more versatile as you don't have to start your car.

I have the 3-ton aluminum. It's not really much lighter. I wish that I had bought the steel and still have the extra $100 in my wallet.
