Raceramps are crazy expensive for what they are (to me). I don't see much benefit in them over just a good low-profile jack.

I do the same thing jack it up a bit and reach in with my arm and loosen everything....Very easy and simple ...No need to go under the car

I also have race ramps. I do not jack up the back. All the oil drains just fine and the new oil quantity to the fill line seems to match the appropriate amount.
