Use floor jack and a couple of jack stands to be safe while under your car

I have a couple 2x10 wood pieces about 2' long that I put in front of the ramps to help me clear. This works with my lowered mustang.

I think someone else on this forum managed to do the oil change without using ramps. Try the search box.
