oil change
who's done it to thier f yet? im asking cause i wanted to know if the car needs to be lifted high cause ever since i moved i have no where to work on my car. the damn driveway is so steep that i cant get any ramps on them,and my garage floor is soo slick that ramps just start slipping after i try driving up on them. i am approaching my oill change and dont know how i am going to get my car up on ramps. i have the regular rhino ramps they sell at autozone,the black ones.
also was wondering it wouldnt be a good idea to do the oil change on the car on my driveway with the steep hill right? since then when i drain the oil all of it wont come out right?
help need ideas

Never jack a car in a steep hill drive way..
Depending on your angle. You just might be able to drive the car pointing downward in your driveway onto the rhino ramps...
That might make it sit flat while on the ramps.

^If you're a skinny guy and know what you're doing and where everything is located, you might be able to do it without a lift. If not, you might want to find a place where you can jack it up...have you thought about putting anything behind your ramps in your garage so that they don't move when you try to drive up them? Like a bigger rock or bags of soil or sand you might have laying around

I do the exact same thing as BigA_IS-f. I bring in my own oil and sometimes my own filter, depending on if I had enough time to get one before the service time. It's usually 25-30 bucks with the filter and oil and about 40 without the filter

I did this with my Supra. They kept my Red Line oil and filled with Pennzoil conventional. It coked my entire engine. I'll never give them the oil again.

ive heared of them stealing oils... thats y i just goto local reputable shop to exchange oil for labor.. i just watch them pour oil in.
if you wanna test them give them like greddy or royal purple and check ur oil right after oil change. because they will have diff color then regular oils :
