When using ramps, I always put jack stands under the car for additional safety. Even when the car is on jack stands, I use extra jack stands or wood blocks for extra protection..

I'd love to get a set of Quick Jacks, but I plan to keep my car stock and there really isn't any other maintenance I can think of doing other than the oil (maybe air filters/spark plugs). My old 928 was a different story. I changed everything under that car from the exhaust to the power steering rack myself.

I'm in Florida, and was concerned about the viscosity degradation showing on my last two Blackstone reports, using factory fill Mobil 1 0W-40. So earlier this year I switched to the thicker Mobil 1 5W-50. More discussion on this oil is here:

and here:

Also, and it may just be me, but I've noticed the engine is less noisy at first startup after sitting for 2-3 days, with less ticking and valve clatter the first few miles, using the 5W-50. My next OCI is Feb, so I will submit get a report on this past year to confirm the viscosity improvement with the 5W-50, or not.
Yes, you will need to have the oil maintenance minder reset, either by the dealer, or an indy with the right tool, or you can do it DIY with e.g. an Autel tool (approx $100). I DIY, and bought the Autel:

If I had to do it over again, I would not buy this one, but I'd get a slightly better one that also reset the Battery Maintenance System. (I put in a new battery in August, and had to schmooze a BMS reset gratis from my SA. Ok, well, to be honest, it was at the same time as an Air Filter job, plus I left them a box of doughnuts on the seat before it went into the shop. Dang if they all didn't disappear though. )
