Same here. Due to the incline on my driveway having the car on the ramp levels the car perfectly. It also provides a lot of room to work under the back of the car. To me it's easier and safer than jacking up and placing on jackstands

It should hold all of the oil but I have a little mess anyway so I have started putting down newspaper just in case things get a little sloppy.

Lil B's technique looks easy, too.

Also, I use Mobile1, but other discussions on this forum recommend Redline. However, I didn't find it when I set out to buy oil so convenience won.

I have embraced other points made here and elsewhere regarding the right tools / equipment / preparation.
