Ramps vs. Jack and Stands

Something to remember about changing oil on ramps is that you may not get all of the old oil out when your car is not level. I don't know much about drain pan design, so maybe it accommodates for a slight angle... but if you want to be sure, you should jack the car up level.

I use this jack: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

With the ZL1 jack pad + 6th gen magpuck: https://zl1addons.com/collections/ja...nt=27712440001

And 4 jackstands (No link because I've had them since I was a kid)

There's a pinchweld jack point about a foot or two from the front wheels, and then there's a good pinchweld jackstand location between the jack point and the front wheels, and also right in front of the rear wheels. The car is so stiff that you can jack each side only once. Just be careful when lowering the car onto the jack stands because the pinchwelds can bend (so I'm told - I haven't done it yet in the few times I've lifted the car)


...But most importantly, you can make you car do magic... O.o
