Maintenance and some small additions- Oil, Trans fluid, PRL Rear engine mount and ZL1 Add Ons Jacking Pads.

I finally got around to doing my first crawl underneath the car since I bought it a month ago. Got an oil change with new magnetic drain plug, Transmission fluid change, PRL Rear engine mount and ZL1 Add Ons Jacking plates all done. I gotta throw the new cabin air filter in later. So far I'm loving the car!

Looks good. I have not seen those jacking points before. They come back off correct?

Yes they are removable if you want, but they are made to stay attached to the vehicle. Nice to not have to remember where something is. Ive had them on other vehicles before this one and love them. Also helps from shops crushing the pinch welds.

I believe they also make a magnetic variant that you don’t need to keep connected to your pinch weld 100% of the time

Yes they make the magnetic type also, just comes down to preference, I like the fact that they are just on the vehicle all the time. Makes it nice in a pinch if I want to jack the car up.

How do you even have room to place the stand tehre if the jack is right nest to it?

 

[jdezee]

there is enough room, I guess that all depends on your jack and jack stands.

Do the lift pads hang down at all? I would be concerned about catching it on an apron, road debris etc.

Not below the rocker moldings, no issues with it hitting or catching on anything

Race ramps are also great and a little cheaper.
