Question oil change recommendation in Milpitas?

Anyone have a recommend oil change place in/around milpitas? I'm specifically looking for one with a underground pit. Since I can't get my car on a lift without twisting an arm and a leg. I have my own oil, just need a place to change it.
I'm too lazy to do my own
gonna try to get it done at lunch time...

Check Jiffy Lube, I think they have the underground pits.

not sure, going there thursday. I'm also getting some other stuff done besides oil change so probably not gonna be able to give a fair estimate. Give Rob a call, I'm sure he should be able to tell you.

no. I ran the car to the lift, they lift the whole car up. They don't use those lift that has 4 pads that touch the under body part of your car. I don't think Zgarage has underground pit and it will cost more for sure.

I have a nice low profile racing jack you can use. Hey, you'll save even more $ than Bubble
But seriously that's what I do anyway. That and two jack stands and I'm done.

I use Redline in my 2 stroke Banshee.

But some guy on 350Zmotoring.com was talking about Castrol Syntec 0w30, the formula that is manufactured in Germany. I can't get into the whole speak but he convinced me to try it. Available at Autozone I'm going to give it a shot.
