Hi.

I'm curious what you guys use to complete your oils changes. Do you use a lift and jacks to raise and support the rear wheels or do you use a vehicle ramp like this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0117EETEK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_10?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I would assume the ramps are quicker and easier to use, but my concern is the front end of the car; is there enough clearance to get the rear wheels up on the ramp without scraping the front bumper.

Anyway, what are you all using, a lift and jacks or ramps? And for all you guys who have those super fancy lifts that raise the entire car up and make me super jealous and envious, please don't tell me how much you love your fancy cool lift. I'm well aware of how cool they are.

I'd really like to hear from the guys with simple tools!!

Thanks all.
