Are these the Rhino Ramps? Also, does anyone know who'll take old oil? thanks for the advice
Shucks or Autozone will take the old oil. I would go buy some 0w-30 German Castrol and a wix filter for ~$35. You can sometimes find that oil at autozone...beware not the US castrol you want the German castrol. It has some of the best UAO results of any oil. Rhino ramps work pretty well. I have the cheap $25 ones from Shucks, my car just barely fits on them and its lowered. Perfect height for changing the oil. You can buy Amsoil SSO or German Castrol and still save yourself $30 per oil change and have much better oil. Thats why I no longer go to the dealer.

thanks for the feedback. I'm gonna stick with mobil 1 oil and the OEM filters though. I'm still a firm believer of the two.

Order Oil Filter online, buy mobile 1 at walmart, take the stuff to the oil change place and pay for labor, or do it in your garage/driveway.
