New Ramps and Oil Change

[@1984C4Corvette_DIY_Garage]

Nice ramps, they'll serve you well. I assume your Harbour Freight is like our Canadian Tire up here, usually called Crappy Tire, but I do most of my hardware shopping there.

[@Mikes84Corvette]

Probably! Good enough for my needs!

I just got this exact same set of ramps on sale to do some exhaust work on my Honda. Worked great.

[@Mikes84Corvette]

I like them too!

Rockefeller.....Exxon Valdez...You're showing your age Mike that's okay I'm right there with you... LOL

[@Mikes84Corvette]

Nice to hear someone recognizes my references!

My 84 was lowered b the previous owner so I had to back it onto those exact ramps then use the space to jack the front up. I ended up using my tablet's front facing camera to look at where my tires were outside the car.

[@Mikes84Corvette]

Good idea!

[@jaymanf1509]

Your right about the oil fill should be on the passenger side..also I was always told by mechanics that they fill the filter with oil before installation???

[@Mikes84Corvette]

I’ve heard both ways. I’ve been doing it this way for years. Maybe things have changed?

[@gamerscubeixxi2152]

Just curious, how is the crossfire injection treating you? That was quite problematic. I was wondering if it was any better on the vettes

[@Mikes84Corvette]

No problems with it so far!!

[@gamerscubeixxi2152]

Harbor freight has great deals on tools and an amazing warranty for Pittsburgh products

[@Mikes84Corvette]

True!

[@goby999]

You're going to trust your life with Harbor Freight ramps? Yikes!

[@Mikes84Corvette]

I guess so. I’m not using the jack stands that were recalled a year ago!

[@CallforthePriest]

Mike, do you always use conventional oil in your 84? I have debated going back to it in my 84 but i just haven't been sure. Thanks!

[@Mikes84Corvette]

Yep. Conventional oil.
