Quick Oil Change question.
Im changing my oil for the first time and I'm wonder if all the oil will drain with just the car on ramps or should the back be jacked up and level as well?

just make sure your ground is level. no need for ramps.

I think it all pretty much drains out. If you are worried about getting out the last little bit of oil at the bottom of the oil pan put in half a quart of new oil with the drain pug out.

there are more oil left in your oil cooler and engine head. Do not put more than 4.5 qt. Rhyno ramp is really good for the oil change. after the change, put 4 qt oil then start the engine drive to leveled surface and put more as needed.

Also when filling the filter, fill it up and let it sit for maybe a half minute, then top it off again.
I do this a few times.
Doing this prevents the air that there would be in an "empty" filter from being pumped through the engine. Air + bearings = suck

My dad taught me that one when i was a kiddo
