Default Oil change help
Can you change the oil without raising the car with jack and jack stands? Is there a diy for 2nd gen xbs? Ive seen one but do you really have to remove the wheel the change the oil filter?!

I change my oil without lifting the car. I do sometimes just drive the front passenger tire up on a small wood block. its just a bit easier but jacking the car up is unnecessary

I bought some of the hard plastic ramps rated for much more than the car, and some of the back wheel stops. Just drive up on it and go to town.
