For the hydraulic fluid, it's nothing special. I used automatic trans fluid I bought at Autozone. The only thing you need to pay attention to there is the specification which is in the Quickjack manual.

I've really only been using mine for oil changes and larger jobs (like changing brakes for example). For tire rotations I'm just using a regular floor jack. The setup takes a good 15-20 minutes.

The thing takes up a lot of space, so I store the lift centered under the car, and the rest of the components in a cabinet in my garage.

I haven't used my Quickjack with the Integra yet so I can't speak to your questions about the length or the rubber blocks yet. When I do I can update my post.

I had them for a bit and they worked well, but never really loved them. Felt like more work than a simple floorjack and jackstands tbh. It's cool raising and lowering the car with a button, but they're pretty annoying to position EVERY time. Plus they restrict side access for stuff like exhaust or drivetrain work on rwd cars. Also very heavy, awkward and bulky to move around. Not to mention the cost. It just didn't feel like it was solving a problem. The only thing it helped with was string alignments being able to lower the car to load up the suspension quickly, measure, and then raise it again to make adjustments.

I eventually went back to my floorjack/jackstands and haven't regretted it. So much cheaper and easier. Someday I'd like to get something that can be driven over and just sit in one spot like the bendpak scissor lifts.

Bringing this thread back up to the top.

I have the shorter 5000TL and have been using the frame extenders to get under the ITS for lifting. I can just barely able to get the blocks to fit under the car with that setup at stock heigh. Now that the car is lowered it's impossible to get the frame extenders and blocks under the car.

For anyone in a similar situation, how have you been able to get the setup to work (if at all possible)?

My guess you have to do what i do whith my car jack.. small pieces of wood planks to get it up an extra inch or so.

The QJ is a pain in the ass to setup as-is, sounds like I'm never getting under the car again unless I go back to stock height lol.

Which model do you have and which jack points are you using (I'm assuming the pinch welds)?
I always wondered about that. Mechanics seldom place the lift exactly, they just kick it under and lift.

On my 7000TL, most cars I lift need the extensions which I don't have so I've taken to using the designated points in the front and use the pinch weld line as close as I can to the back set. Usually I'm about 2-6 inches off at most and the cars all are rock solid with no damage to the rear lift point.

You know, I'm so by-the-book I never thought to put the blocks anywhere along the pinch welds instead of just the reinforced sections. I'll have to give a try this afternoon.

I used to do that with my previous car. With the ITS it seems like the pinch weld is not readily available. If so putting in Jack Stands would be much easier.

For my QJ with the long extensions I use a set of magnetic pinch weld adapters that have the flat face along with some 1" aluminum stock which sits flush in the Quickjack extensions: plenty of space with stock height of the ITS.

The short QJ rubber blocks are just a bit too tall, but the metallic adapters were not long enough to bottom out on the quickjack plates, so the 1" AL made it all just right.

What brand of adapters? I have seen some for $50 each.

Agreed prices for these are all over and they can be pretty expensive, these were 2 for 28 on amazon. There's a few options, I went orange Zosany and work well enough. The jack pads had all the measurements so I could be sure the inner diameter would clear hte thcker pinch welds of the Integra. The magnetic is a nice touch when setting things up (I have used non-magnetic adapters before, won't go back :D )
