Thanks,
It won't really tear VCT, it will dent or chip it. I put a piece of wood down first, just to avoid the issue.

I do roll/drag the jack across it, and it will leave a mark, but I don't really care that much. The mark will come out when I wax it (just mop it on) or buff it with a power machine.

The color is solid throughout the 1/8" thick tile. If you make a mark, sand it down. Oil can sit on it for months. I've spilled brake fluid on it too - no damage if you wipe it up within reasonable time.

The glue under the tile is very sticky, and it never really dries. This means you can pry a single tile up and replace it if you really want. This is a huge benefit for those who are very anal.

Yes, slippery when wet.
