I just used a new low profile aluminium race jack i got from Harbor Freight. Worked excellently for the oil change and CAGS install today. Got for 79 bucks.

I got a great heavy duty one from SAM's club..it's a Roush racing brand. Very heavy and well put-together. Wide stance and large lifting platform. Has a warranty. 7000 pound capacity. Under $100...I think like $85???

Low profile (3.3 inches) Heavy Duty (6 ton commercial) floor jack named "Black Jack" at SOME WallMart stores for $69. Very good construction.

After going through 3 Craftsmen Jacks, I finally purchased an AC Hydraulics DK 13HLQ last year. By far the best jack I have ever owned, and probably the last one I'll need to buy.

I paid way more for my Harbor Freight racing jack. I used my HF (US General) jack to do an oil + filter and coolant change on my C5 today. One wheel fell off the jack twice today, sending ball bearings all over my garage floor. Anyone want to trade jacks?
