That lip was good if you use the jack supplied with the car, otherwise the jack will chew it all up.

Just so no one tries, NEVER NEVER crawl under the car while using the factory jack. The thing is terribly flimsy. I've had the car drop off the jack while changing a tire.

YIKES!!!

ONe more option is to use a vaccum and place the hose in the top of the engine and suck the oil out. Not sure how good this would work though.

I heard that also gives you 10 HP because the sucking conditions the gaskets.

Thats quite an increase. maybe if you put a garden hose in it it would clean the gunk out of the engine.
