2001 Chevy Lumina hard to get to the oil filter to change. should I jack the car up?
Just bought a new used 2001 Lumina. My old truck, I could change the oil filter easy. should I jack up the car and get underneath to change the oil filter? Advice, webpages, or links could be useful.

Sure most cars need you to lif them up so that you may get under and to the Oil Filter as wells as the Drain screw. be sure it's a steady and stable lift.if you're just using a jack. a set of stands are a smart idea too or.

Might be best if you use up $20 and get a set of cars ramps. I have them and they're much easier to use if I need under my truck and car.

best wishes.

unless you're small, yes you have to jack the car up. it is easy to get to but it jacked up a bit to get underneath it. My husband is a Mechanic and I got this answer from him
