Is It Legal To Change Oil On The Street?

[zohnny]

Will I get in trouble if I change oil on the street or car park?

If it is legal, can anyone recommend me where to buy a decent hydraulic jack? (Preferred north shore area)

Also is there place recycles used oil?

I called around shops and just an oil change cost more than $100(some even won't do unless I get full service).

I thought it might be worth just buying the jack and other stuff to do it myself.

Thanks.

yeh just do it your self.. and i wouldnt be so sure about doing it on the street.. any hard surface will do thats flat. chock the back wheels, undo the oil cap, jack up the car, place oil tray under car, undo bolt on the bottom of the sump and let it drain.. lower the car back down too if you want to get every last drop out.

should like take 30mins. and dont forget the filter.

depending on the oil you replace it with, and the quality of the filter you get, and if you buy an additive to run through the engine to get deposits out prior to draining it.. it can easly cost ya around 100.. but also it can be done for 50 if you use cheaper oil.

if you want to use your car for track, id go for the oil that is better.

anndd i think i just craped on again about stuff you proberly already know, lol
