Table Lift - Oil Change?
I know the MOM says to change the oil while on the jiffy stand but does anyone do it from a table lift? Just tired of laying on the concrete at almost 50 years old.

I use my J&S jack with the optional drain adapter panel to drain the oil out of the engine, primary and transmission. I do put the bike on the jiffy stand to change the oil filter as the little gizmo I bought from HD to catch the filter oil works better that way.
I level the bike again on the jack to fill the primary (only way to get 32 oz back in).

I don't know, youth of today! Got no git up 'n go. Closing on 70 here and the ground is getting easier to get down to - it's getting back up that ain't so easy. Takes no time at all to drain oil and refit the plug, but my way is to remove plug(s) and leave overnight to drain. Spreads the pain!

I have realized the same thing recently, I can get down, but then I get the "I've fallen and can't get up!" syndrome. LOL
