pepboys, autozone, kragen, napa all have ramps you can buy they range anywhere from 25-40 bucks. U can also drive the car up on the sidewalk, crawl under the car and break the torque on the oil pan drain plug then lightl tighten it back up. drive the car into your driveway or garage and use your jack from the trunk and lift the car just enough to get your arm under the car with a extension (dont get completely under the car) place the drip pan under the drain hole and remove the drain plug the lower the car to the point where it is almost ontop of the drip pan and be done with it.

Im not sure our cars will go up ramps. Seems the front end would hit them. Worth a try, I would check out garage sales. Around here they are every where.

if it too low, jack the car up, then put the ramp under.

I use the plastic Rhino Ramps found in most parts stores. My car is lowered 1.5 inches, and I have no problems.

Walmart?????

I have some old metal ones ive had for years and they work fine for the mustang.. just a very slight run with my t-bird. Ive also found you can back up on them with the rear wheels for exhaust work, fuel filters changing diff fluid etc.

I have the autozone ones. I'm not lowered, and my chin spoiler rubs on the way up. It still gets up there though, and the chin spoiler is already pretty messed up, so I'm not worried about that.

Don't know what I'm gonna do when i lower it though. Guess I'll need to use a jack. Heaven forbid.
