Hi Peter,

I have never jacked my Vanagon to change the oil.  I can crawl up under the rear and drain the
oil and replace the filter in a matter of minutes.   In fact, I am going to do that today.

hilltops and shining far to seaward."

Subject: Oil Change and Jacks

Hello,

For those of you with stock rims on a vanagon camper, have you ever
tried to change the oil without jacking the van up? It seems doable
just that I've never tried.
