First, what size floor jack would I need for my truck? Will 1 1/2 ton work or a 2 ton? I saw recommendations for a Roush 3-ton aluminum from Sam's or Costco which I'll probably get, but I was wondering what weight rating was necessary. I did search, I swear.
Second, does anyone have an oil change how to for dummies? I know what oil and filter I'm going to use (Mobil1 5w-20 and Motorcraft FL-820S) and I'm going to get the Craftsman universal oil filter wrench. Could you guys fill me in or point me to a step by step of the oil change process?
Thank you for the help.
