I'm thinking about investing in one of those drive onto ramps that allow you to lift your car up. They are mostly used for oil changes and they are sold in most auto part stores. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. My question is since the car will be at an angle. Wont some of the oil remain in the engine since it is not completely leveled off like it would be in a hydrolic lift? What do you guys think about this? I'd really hate to have 90% fresh oil and 10% old oil when I change my oil due to this problem. Maybe all the oil does come out, I'm not sure and that is why I ask. Thanks.

 

I really like mine...bought them from Kragen for $20 a pair. They are 8" in height and have a 16 degree incline I believe. I'm lowered 1.5" and have no problems; I have yet to try it with my front lip, but I think it'll clear. As for the oil drain, the drain is in the rear of the pan. When you jack up the car, most of the oil will flow to the rear of the pan anyway. BTW a side note, after draining the oil, I like to pour an oz or 2 down the filler and out the drain just to remove whatever sludge or impurities that might remain. I don't know if it's effective or not, but it's just a few ounces.
