I use ramps made out of 2x4s for oil changes. Screw 3 together on their 2” side and then cut them down with a big saw on an angle. Dad made them years ago because of needing to put my sister’s Camaros on ramps just to get a jack under it. We have since added 1” pads of solid PVC to the bottom to get a little more lift. Either way, they work awesome and make oil changes a breeze and even make working under the hood easier by not having to bend over so far.
