so my dad was saying he wants me to learn how to fix the cars and stuff... ie change the oil and what not. I know I'd need to have jack stands, a creeper and a jack to do that, but I'm not sure what I'd need as far as weight. I'm dealing with 3 cars, one sedan, and 2 minivans, the heaviest of these weights 2 and 1/4 tons. (4,500 lbs) so would I need the jack stands total to that weight or to each be rated for that weight. and the jack would need to be half that? because it is lifting half the car at a time?
I know how to change the oil, but I don't know about the drain plug.... is it a hex head? and what is the best thing to drain the oil into?
