What did you do to your Supra today?

[lucky phil]

Did an oil change (yesterday), finally swapped to 5w30.

Still amazed at how easy the oil change is, having the filter accessed by the top rather than having to unga-dunga it at an odd angle while deep under the car is great.

Umm I'm not sure I agree. Lets see. A normal filter is under the car where you are anyway removing the drain plug and is in a disposable canister which is easy to remove and install with the correct and cheap tool. A simple neat package where everything is replaced with a brand new item every filter change. The Supra/BMW option requires a filter element and multiple orings and the occasional jammed and broken filter and reaching over the side of the car to get at it all and the prospect of spilling oil while doing it. You also can't pre charge the filter and all the time you're dealing with a reuseable multi piece plastic housing.
Given the choice I'd go with the conventional option every time. Less parts, simple and easy in a location you are already in anyway. If you're uga-dugering a conventional filter canister then there's an issue with who has been changing it in the first place. No uga-duggering required at all if it's done correctly.

Someone states X, someone else states Y, Phil comes in and tells everyone they are wrong and his word is absolute. I miss @razorlab

I simply outlined my thoughts on the matter because thats what forums are for aren't they esp when you have 50 years of experience in changing oil filters on everything from every different configuration of motorcycle, aircraft jet engine and piston engine, aircraft hydraulic system and fuel systems and automotive engines.
Of course you may be an ideolog and think a forum is no place for anyone with a different point of view based on a lot of experience. Not an uncommon thing. But thats not my problem.
You're in the minority there I think.

The super low profile ones won't work because then the car will rest on the jacks on the side skirts (they hang down lower than low profile ones allow). Just drive up onto some wood or small ramps. Then slide them under and use the normal blocks.

Any issues with those Megan racing ramps? I was looking at those for when I finally put my Whiteline springs on. I use the 7000 quick Jack and I barely clear at stock height

Do you have pictures from different angles? Further away, etc? Looks clean

Nope! They work perfect. I bought 2 sets off Amazon. Im lowered and have a front lip and I still clear fine.

Pup got too excited ...

I wonder if my massive boostlogic tips would fit or just melt the diffuser

Got the low profile pucks and lifted the car up. So much better than jacks and stands. Wow.

Technically got the jacks backwards FYI

Well not really. The Supra has a 50/50 weight distribution. The jacks can go either way.

I hate to say it, but Phil's right this time. As long as the locks are out it's fine
