I'm not sure I'd recommend this, exactly, but I've seen it done: park in a remote corner of one of those vast, Sahara-sized shopping center lots and do some work there.

IPD carries all the manuals you'll need: http://www.ipdusa.com/ProductsCat.aspx?CategoryID=623&NodeID=2443&RootID=629

I have three, and the Bentley is the best, but sometimes the Haynes or Chilton will have something the Bentley doesn't.

Your oil drain plug is larger than any socket included in a normal set, but a 1" socket fits.

The 700-900 FAQ on this site has lots of info that also applies to 240s.
