I have gravel parking where I rent, so that makes it really difficult when I need to get under the truck for anything. My place has a concrete patio that has a layer of gravel and 3-ish inches of concrete. I got the bright (or maybe not so bright!) idea of pulling the truck onto the patio to work on it, but my biggest concern with doing that is whether or not I'd be risking cracking the concrete. Aren't most driveways 6 inches thick? Maybe for an occasional use 3 inches is OK? I'm not sure on that. Any expert advice? Maybe it is just a crazy loony idea
I rent the place so I don't want to crack the concrete (it was put in only a year ago). I'd be putting down a thick layer of cardboard to keep it clean of any oil drips.
Usually I end up going somewhere else to work on the underside of the vehicle, such as to my parents' on the weekend. However, my schedule is full every weekend for the next several weeks so it would be much better to get my oil change done today or tomorrow. Worst case scenario is I have to make time Saturday morning, but it would be a little easier to be able to do it sooner.
