Default Help W/ Oil Change

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone in the Santa Barbara area has a jack and jack stands that would be willing to let me come over to change my oil. I'll bring some bomb food. Anything to help would be great.

Yeah I know, I've seen a couple modified Z's around here but I guess they're not active on here. Oh well, I need to get some jack stands and a jack anyway.

Hardparking.org is the local Santa barbara car forum for mostly imports. I'm sure someone there would be willing to help, I would but I live in Oxnard now.

wouldnt it just be easier to use a floor jack and pump the side up, drain the fluid, lower the car to get it all out and then jack it back up rather than jacking up all the sides to get the car level on jacks?
