Jacking Rear of Car to Change Car Oil

Video Transcript

"After you lower the front of your vehicle on your jack stands and the front end is secured, you can bring the jack to the back of the car and jack up the rear of the car. Now you don't have to do this step in order to change the oil on your vehicle. It just makes it a lot more convenient if the vehicle is set and level when you drain the oil and you can fill the oil back in, check for leaks underneath and check the oil level and everything while the car is still up in the air instead of having to lower it to the ground, have the car level out to check your level and all of those things. I like to jack the back of the vehicle up as well and we are going to do this like in the front. We are going to try to find a spot in the center of the vehicle that is structurally sound and jack the vehicle up on. If there isn't one in the center of the vehicle, a lot of front wheel drives car it might be hard to find that spot. You may have to go to one side and jack it up and place the jack stand in and go to the other side and jack it up. A good place is under the pinch welds under the rocker panel or under the suspension, things like that. "
