Use a piece of wood with the floor jack to avoid damaging crossmembers. Then change the oil.

GC 0w30 here too, along with a K&N oil filter.
I will always go at least 5000 miles or more between changes, there is simply no sense draining out good oil long before it's life is up. Even at 5000 miles, my oil analysis showed the oil had tons of life left in it.
Next spring when I get rid of the oil that was in there for the cold winter driving, I plan on running that interval for as long as my DIC tells me. So it will most likely be somewhere around 8000 miles I predict. I'm confident GC 0w30 can handle it no problem, and my wear metals will still be very low. Knowledge is power, and if more of you did oil analysis at the end of your intervals, you'd see that you can very safely extend your intervals. Following the DIC is totally safe.
