Default just starting to do maintenance myself

i decided i'm gonna start doing regular maintenace myself. what do i need to do oil changes, lubricate the chassis, etc? also, can you lift these cars by driving them up on wheel ramps, or is the car too low to drive up on them?

bbfirebird, I drive my car on the ramps for oil changes. Just use caution. I bought ramps from auto zone. They are fine.

Good luck and keep reading and learning!

Get the Rino ramps from Wal mart. They have a low angle so you can even get lowered cars on them.

Get the gray ones, not the black ones.
Welcome, you've come to the right place.

I made some ramps using the directions below. THey're fine - just heavy. It's much easier riding up on these than the rhinos, in my opinion.
