Here's how I change my oil. Wish you lived closer, I'd be happy to let you use it too.

Might be worth the drive - from Pittsburgh!

So far I have put it into old Gallon Milk containers. I am hoping that my local place takes it. I found out Saturday they take old batteries, but like a fool I forgot to ask about oil. If they don't then my neighbor owns a garage so I guess I can ask him.
I did hear that garages have to take old oil now, but I am not 100% sure aobut that.

Put the jack stands on the cross member, close to the A-arm mount. The x-member is strongest in a corner, so place my stands all the wan to the outside in front.
In back there is a small curved area that runs the parallel to the car at the outside of the x-member. This is where I place them in the back.
The car has sat like that for weeks and been fine, and is very stable.
