I refuse to believe that engine wear isn’t increased a lot by leaving the break-in oil in for 20,000 miles per the manual. I plan to change oil after the first 1500 miles if I can figure out how to do it. No instructions in the owners manual. I assume the car should be level when I pull the drain plug and that the plug will be to low to allow an oil drain pan to be used unless I jack the car up. If ramps under the rear tilt the oil away from the drain plug then the only solution is to get the car up on 4 jack stands. So the question is how to jack it up one corner at a time to get it on stands and where to position the jack and stand in the same corner to transfer weight from one to the other. Maybe someone can clue us in.
