          Harbor freight low profile jack works perfectly fine for me. Lift one side, drain, lower it back down. The rest is done from the top.

              If you have $850 laying around, then a Quick Jack 3500 might be right for you. Good for other stuff, too. They're only about 3" tall when collapsed.

                  Changing oil in low cars

                  Lopro jack + rolling car onto some wood. I didn't do ramps, just a few small pieces of wood, roll back onto them. sufficed to getting the jack under it.

                  And the facebook jokes :rofl:
