Yes, did mine a while back.

You will want it on ramps, though rather than axle stands.

Would you say it's a job for the nano-meet Duncan?

Have only done this once myself Paul,
Not really for the Nano IMHO unless someone brings ramps, axle stands, or Trolley jacks, Oil Spill Granules and a T4 to monitor temperature for fluid change,
but if you have the correct bits and someone likes lying on their back for a while........perfect.

There are of course differences of opinion in way to drain, when, and if T4 should be used, but above just following the MGR method.

Not a job for the nano-meet if oil spillage is likely then John.

Doesn't the car have to be level for auto fluid change? Just wondering because if on ramps the car won't be... level that is?

I once did an auto fluid change on a Renault 25... and wrecked the transmission so I'm not keen on doing the job on VeeKay unsupervised.

Oops, the ramps I was on were er a four poster ramp......... (when brother was assisting out of hours at his garage) had four changes in total now.

When Lates first did mine I believe he managed with trolley jacks and stands.

Of course if you are Thin, Fit and Young no jacks required....
Now where is Typhoon 190?

Yes, you need to be level. I have a slope on my drive that is just enough to get the car level again when on ramps (plus a small lift at the back from a jack).

You might avoid oil spills, but I got oil on the drive even though being careful.
