[V6-12v] Oil change (concluded)

[Nathan Widmyer]

I'm a college student trying to change the oil on two jacks (one 
screw-jack from the trunk and one 2-ton hydraulic jack) with nothing but 
hand tools.  An air compressor and impact wrench aren't quite viable 
yet.  In the future, when I do the house and family thing, yeah, I'd 
definitely look into an impact wrench.  I'd like to run a small-time 
shop out of my house in the future though so I'd definitely look into 
getting an impact wrench.
