And two different mounts to choose from.

Still changing my own oil... One of the few jobs that I actually DIY.

Smallest damn oil filter I've ever seen in my life, too. Still LOL every time I'm reminded how diminutive our filters are.

Nice to see fresh pics J, even if it is up on ramps
Hmmm, never had a problem getting filters off on these cars, but that K&N end nut does simplify things. FWIW I always use the M56 V8 filters, just don't understand why they use thimbles as filters on our 330 hp motors????

Props to you, though, for keeping things "old school" and still changing your own oil.

Yep, that's exactly what that is. It's just enough added clearance, otherwise the bumper crushes into thos ramps. I really, really want a decent pair or racing ramps, but they're so damn expensive for something I only use a few times a year. Still... they're on my list, so someday.

I have a old pair of stamped steel ramps my Dad bought at Kmart in the 70's--the same ones he used to launch his Oldsmobile through the garage wall--and some DIY 2x12 ramps. I want to upgrade.

Unlike 2GoRNot2G, who's like Activity Superman (LOL), things are pretty simple around here. I walk the dog at least twice a day.
Either the RR-56: 56 inch car service ramps - A Car Ramp Favorite!
...or the two-piece RR-56-2: Two Piece 56 inch Car Service Ramps
Either one would be 1" higher than my current ramps, which is certainly a good thing. Obviously longer, which means no more bother with the plank. And 3" wider without the edge, which means the summer tires will fit. Right now, my front summers are squeezed into the ridges, and I simply can't get those wide rear tires on the ramps. That just doesn't work.
$203 shipped with Amazon Prime... damn. If I keep thinking about this, I'll probably buy them this year.

I get to use a lift at work, but if you have a decent jack and jack stands you should be able to get plenty of room if you jack up one side.
