Ramps are bad. Your car is major tilted on ramps. Put it up on four jackstands, drain the oil, change filter, put plug back in. Lower car to ground. Fill with oil on level ground.

You need to put oil back in before you can drive off the ramps. This is the problem.

The OP lives in Denver, and Jake Raby has commented that the AOS seldom fails at such altitudes.
