Default change oil ??

Ok guys how are you changing your oil? Are rhino ramps good enough, seems like that might be enough clearance. Trying to remember where the plug sits, if it's on the bottom tilting the car that much would leave a pool of oil at the back of the pan. I know my truck has the plug at the back so tilting it wouldn't be a problem (it's tall enough that I don't have to lift it at all). But what about the vette??

Not as easy as rino ramps (if they work), but this week I drove my car up onto 2x4's then it was much easier to get the jack under.

I believe ramps can be purchased through the catalogue companies, but I just floor jack it to jackstands and let that baby drip! Have fun! ;)
