Went to change my oil last night- jack didn't fit under the car. As I am now out of town for a few days and can't measure the clearance, was wondering if anybody knew how low I need the jack to be?

If the car is too low we have one guy lift on the fender and the other guy slides the jack. Or you can just drive up on a piece of wood.

Tool, that is an accurate answer but not the right answer. The right answer is, of course, to run out and buy an new ultra low aluminum track jack. Never pass up a perfectly good excuse to buy a tool.

Olucier, driving up on a block works great, however, if you are planning to buy a jack anyway you should be fine with 4 inches of clearance for stock ride height. If your car is lowered then you will want a 3.5 inch jack.
