those with dropped cars...where do you get your oil change??
 
im about two seconds from pulling the trigger on some coilovers then it occurred to me

if the car is dropped lower than 1 inch can the nissan dealership still lift it up without damaging anything? for on oil change?

i know theoretically i can raise it when ever i bring it in but i was hoping i wouldn't have to go thru the trouble

anyone with experience in this dept???

As long as they have planks of wood. Any lowered car can be used at the lift.

Dealers are used to placing lowered cars on lifts so don't worry. Once you lower a car don't change the ride height unless you want to pay for another alignment.

well you could take it anywhere with a pit for oil changes the dealer my wallet used to get raped at had one and hell you could have changed a racecars oil over it. of course that was before i realized that the magic oil they sold me wasn't worth sh*t compared to aftermarket synthetics and i sure as hell wasn't going to pay 12.50 a quart 14 for the filter and 60 for labor for a 5 minute oil change. yup that took one time.
