I assume that since my aging 58 yr. old body can barely get my
shoulder under my 2000 Miata to feel under the oil filter, that you
had to put your car up on ramps or jack stands to be able to do
this??? Since I'm all thumbs most of the time when it comes to car
problems, I guess that I would just bite the bullet and pay to have it
done, if it were anything other than the gas cap, not being on
properly.
