There is a link on here somewhere that made my first oil change a breeze, it was someone with a merc and instead of jacking it up or using a lift, they pulled onto a curb so that the drivers side was lifted. For me it worked perfectly the road is slanted for drainage so it gave tons of room to work on it, and took all of about 10 seconds. having the drivers side up on the curb also lets all of the oil go towards the plug... I found that usefull and I figure that will make it easy for someone else putting off changing the oil because they dont have their own shop!
