Slope in driveway/ oil change

WarMachineM3 · 01-11-2024, 12:36 PM

Is it ok to do oil changes with a slight slope in the driveway? Does it have to be completely level? Thx

How slight is slight? Based on my definition of slight, I’d say it would be perfectly fine to do an oil change. If it’s safe to jack up the car then it should be safe to change the oil.

just face the car so the drain plug is at the lowest spot.
