Default Hockey pucks...

I've read on the forum that hockey pucks can be used when lifting a C6 with a floor jack...do I need to put an eye screw into the puck(s) first..what size eye screw? .any ideas would be appreciated by those using pucks for doing oil changes...also, I've read 6 qts of oil by some and 5 1/2 by others....'10 LS3

You can just stick em under there but if you dont want them to move when your lowering etc they need an eye screw. Dont know what size though. I always start with 5 1/2 qts and then add the other half if I need to.

Been using only hockey pucks for over 3 years now (without having to drill and install any eyelets) and they work great.

Same here as well. About 3 years too.

Bigger problem here in Texas - just finding the darn pucks! Not many hockey players/rinks/etc in the south.
