Sorry, I was not clear. It was on the ground (on a level garage floor) when I checked it. It was only on the ramps when I drained it and replaced the filter. I'm soooo extreme when I replace my MTF (it's up on four stands when I pump the new fluid in) that I actually check the front to rear and left to right level using a 4' long carpenters......and shim the jack stands accordingly.
