quick oil change question

[spongerx]

Doing an oil change right now and I have the front end up on ramps. Should I have keep in on the ground level, or will the heighted front end help to drain all the oil? I should have asked before I started.

I think the most important is making sure the engine is warm since cold oil doesn't flow well.

But having the front end up isn't a problem. I always work on a level surface, but that's because it is unnecessary to jack up the 4Runner since there is plenty of space. I'd imagine it will drain better with the front end up. Make sure to take the oil cap off when draining. :bigok:

Thanks very much. Yep, I warmed up the engine and removed the cap. Thanks for the quick reply.
