Really Low Clearance

06workhorse · 04-18-2006, 10:56 AM

wanted to change the oil the other day...got out the rhino ramps i always used on my previous civic...the 06 lx is so low there is a rubber flap under the bumper that hits the ramps....what do you guys use?...a floor jack?

Yeah, use a floor jack.

Use floor jack and a couple of jack stands to be safe while under your car

I have a couple 2x10 wood pieces about 2' long that I put in front of the ramps to help me clear. This works with my lowered mustang.

I think someone else on this forum managed to do the oil change without using ramps. Try the search box.
