I simply drive the back of the car onto the Rhino ramps, and I have even used two 2x4 boards under each wheel. Front wheels on the ground, no need to lift - just let it drain for 15 to 20 minutes until it barely drips.
Just gives you a bit more space to take off the drain plug (and then prepare for the gushing oil -- get a large open 12 to 16 quart round plastic oil pan to catch the deluge, plus some oil mats to catch any spills), and the oil filter cover. Wear chemical resistant neoprene/plastic type gloves too, and be careful not to burn your hands on hot oil.
I've been to Harah's Rincon, but not San Manuel. I like Vegas better.

Exactly the opposite thinking. It always looks darker filled in a bottle even though the oil might be relatively new. However if you pour some drops on a paper towel, you can tell its true condition between a 5k oil vs. 100 mile oil even though they both may look dark in a bottle.
