If so, what ramp do you use? I have the other stuff but my old roommate took his ramp. It wasn't easy getting on the ramp I always was afraid of rolling off the ramp while trying to get on. Went to Mr. Lube and they didn't want to use the oil filter that I got from Napa (Wix Gold). They didn't have Pennzoil Platnium (although my car uses M1 5W30). Planning to do an Auto-Rx cleaning phase and they suggested to use dino oil, or group III synthetic instead of higher grade.

i do all my own oil changes...i dont actually use ramps...i just jack and jack stands.. i will jack it up and put the jack stands under.. pull the plug and filter.. take it off the jack stands so its on level ground so the oil will drain fully.. then drop a ltr of oil into the engine till the clean oil runs out of the drain.. jack it back up and inset new filter and drain plug... drop it down and fill to spec's.. i use mobile 1 for all the vehicals... jeep and audi... alwas used it.. great oil!!!
