Oil | Race ramps and what other tools?
 
Does anyone use those race ramps to change their oil, if so what model?

I also need to find the proper F wrench for the oil filter, one that won't break like a lot of the sites say they do.

Thanks!

I use normal Rhino Ramps and a couple of shelf planks from an old cabinet. Driving up on the planks first raises the car just enough that it can get up on the Rhino Ramps without scraping the front lip. Slightly ghetto looking but much cheaper than Race Ramps.

I use Race Ramps and still catch the front "spliter" on the way up if I don't use a piece of wood. As for the filter wrench, I'm still searching for one that works.

I used to use this method all the time, but I'm quite rapidly getting sick of it. I went through a kick of trying to use up my spare wood that I had lying around (I had several boxes), and now I don't have enough to get back up on the ramps :/

I'm strongly considering buying the rr-56, or rr-56-2 race ramps. Any suggestions? Comments? I figure the more expensive ramps will pay off ten fold in frustration over the multiple oil changes I go through on my 8.
