Car ramps for us Canadians,,Found the Answer!!!
I purchased a 2021 LT1 new last year from Jim Wilson Chevrolet and my first oil change was due this spring... Not wanting to take my car to the dealer, I wanted to do it myself. I have read countless threads about Race Ramps ...Harbour Freight in the US etc etc etc....
I documented my oil change, reset the oil life monitor and entered it in the "My Chevrolet" app to show my maintenance log. Canadian Tire has the PERFECT set of low profile ramps that allowed me to drive up without touching anything! https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/m...-0091540p.html They are super wide too and also work well on my 4th gen SS Not sure if these would be any good for a SS/ZL1, but for the LT1 and below crowd, drive right up on them with confidence. Oil change was a breeze. Jason

No Front splitter on mine....I still had about 1 1/2 inches of clearance going up those ramps before I would hit anything.

I use Race Ramps. Not cheap but they are among the best.

I am very glad I came across this. I also did my first oil change on my Camaro after I bought it and ended up having to drive it on blocks... It worked but it wasn't the best. Biggest problem is the ramps needing to be long enough so the front doesn't bump. Thank you for sharing!
