Actually, from my perspective it is very cool that the oil change is a bit of a job. When you have to remove the bottom of the car to gain access to the filter and drain plug - you really feel like you have accomplished something.

The Elise is the only car where you can change the oil & filter and not have one drip hit the floor or underside of the car, if that's not simple, nothing is.

Uh...thanks for "attitude" check :facepalm

Apparently the minority, I agree with Kokimo, changing the oil is relatively easy bud.

Saw this video a few months ago. Good for him.

As for changing the oil, it's a blast on the elise/exige.

 

[XHILR8N!]

Once you've done it a couple times it's really not bad. Rhino ramps and a small electric screwdriver and it's pretty straight forward. The jack helper is quite useful too.

And it's good to get under there and check things out from time to time anyway.

AWESOME Video!!! :clap:

Love that video - that's overcoming adversity right there.

As for the oil change, most cars I've seen from the last 6-8 years have some kind of aero/drip catcher undertray you have to take off to do the job.

I actually think the Elise oil change is the easiest of my cars: no need to touch the dirty filter material to pull it over o-rings like the Mercedes cartridge system and the filter isn't pointing sideways and hidden deep in the wheel well like on my 4runner.

The Elise airbox on the other hand... anic:

You bet. I've been bitching about contentless subject lines on the Internet since 1987 and I am unlikely to stop now.

Bitchin' is sort of our hobby here...we love to do it because we have a problem with our cars - but we all know if your biggest problem you have in life is with your car...well... you don't really have any problems.

4 post lift, butterfly pnumatic wrench, 2 sockets and 20 seconds and everything's exposed. Easier than any of my other cars.

I don't know what people are complaining about. The fact that I can just drive up onto the ramps is wonderful! I certainly can't do that with my dually. Removing the cover is just time consuming but still not hard. I'm sure if a girl can do it you big strong men should be able to handle it with a blindfold on.

^ This sounds like bitch!n.

I don't think I've ever read a post on this forum where anyone complained about how difficult it is to change their oil. :shrug:

Very inspiring video though. Thanks for sharing that with us.

wow.

Love the impala.
