Case anyone wants to get creative try this with 2 jacks or stands (…if
you didn’t have ramps). The 2 jack points near the rears of the doors are
meant to be used ONE AT A TIME. If you hold the car up by both of them, the
car is nearly balanced and it can tip backwards with just a little help.
There are pictures on the web of one that came off a lift this way. Just an
important FYI.

yes it can, 5w 40

Wow, thank you so much!! That means so much to me. I try my best to update
as much as i can. I hope you enjoy your Lotus, they are fantastic cars.
Make sure to have the alignment checked when you get it because they come
from too much toe from the factory thus causing you to go through rear
wheels at nearly every 8k miles. You can always add me on fb for more Lotus
updates.

You can get a good grip by hand depending on how tight the last person
tightened it. It should be tightened by hand , not a wrench.

It’ll be a daily driver…

Can the lotus elise take Royal Purple Oil!

Francisco Romero says:

ADRaring says:

How is access to the oil filter? I think the film, which I appreciate you
taking the time to post, skips the removal step. Need a wrench or can you
get a good grip by hand?

In one week I am going to get my 2005 Ardent Red Lotus shipped to me here
in Missoula, MT! I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all of your fun videos
and DYI videos they have made my waiting for my Lotus more “bearable”. You
seem like a really cool person that isn’t egotistical etc… Oh and by the
way i have showed your “secret life of my Lotus elise” to everyone here!
LOVE THOSE VIDEOS! Please do more of them! Again, thanks dude!
