How To Use A Car Jack

Article by George Battles

Before cars were invented people all over the world travel on foot or on a horse. Although this form of transportation got them around it is very inconvenient and very uncomfortable. When the first car was released, it sold like pancakes. Cars, be it for public transport or for private transportation, made travelling more convenient and pleasurable. Over the years, car models continue to change including the type of engine used. However, one car part that has remained the same and these are the tires. The engines make the tires turn and the turning tires make the car move. Without the tires, the car is deemed useless. This is the very reason why a flat tire can be troublesome. A flat tire can keep a car grounded that is why it is important to change flat tires as soon as possible. The thought of changing tires on the sidewalk can be daunting for some because it makes them sweaty and dirty. Indeed, changing car tires can be tiresome but with a car jack, it can be a breeze. What is a car jack? A car jack is a specialized device that used to raise the car. A car jack comes in handy in the incidence of flat tires because it raises the tire a few inches above the road thus making the sliding and changing swifter and smoother.Now, before sliding the car jack beneath the car here are some things to keep in mind. Ensure that you are parked in a safe place; this will help reduce the risk for collision. Avoid using the car jack in steep places and always use a chock in order to keep the car in place. An early warning device should be used in order to warn incoming traffic. Lastly, do not crawl beneath the car even when it is supported by a car jack. A car jack can hold a car up but it is not a stable support.

Is it fine to use a small car jack to raise the car then placing 4 jack stands on the frames around?

sure enoughGood for you DIYer. You don't have to raise the hole car off the ground. I just raise the side that makes the oil run toward the drain plug.This will help in the draining of all the oil.Do use a stand with the single jack. Do not over tighten the drain plug as are easy to strip and does not take a lot to seal. Fill the oil filter about half way with fresh oil before putting on car. This will aid in lubrication when you first start the engine. Place some fresh oil on the gasket also to help in the removal next time. Last thing is to only hand tighten the filter plus a 1/4 turn. Follow this and you will save a lot of money. Have a rag handy while under the car as the old filter wants to get you dirty. LOL. Hope this helps.
