Oil change struggles on the ct5bw

[TruckeeTaurus]

Man, I just finished changing my oil on my car, and they DO NOT make that oil filter easy to unscrew and replace. There are a bar and a screw/bolt conveniently located to give like three inches of turning space.

I bought/ used ramps, but even skinny as I am ( kinda ) it’s a tight squeeze! Thank god my neighbor is going to let me use his lift for future work!

I guess it depends on the ramps you purchased, but I'm a big dude (6'-3" 250lbs) and really don't have much issue getting under the car with race ramps. I guess I've just acclimated to having the bottom of the car a few inches from my face?

I'd recommend getting a filter socket that allows a ratchet and extension to remove. It removes the issue of tight confines.

What race ramp setup do you use?
