Default Oil Change Procedures

Just wondering if anyone has changed their oil on the C6 themselves yet? Any difference than the C5? Will Rhino ramos work with the C6? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

You're not sure how to change oil?
Perhaps you should let a mechanic do it then.

It looks like it will be easier to change than the C5 (it appears that the oil drain plug is on the side...so as long as you can reach it (and the oil filter) you will not need to lift the rear to get a good drain. Hopefully, some C6 owners will respond to your post.

Never trust others to change the "lifeblood" of your engine...they will invariably under/over fill and/or under/over tighten your drain plugs and oil filters.
