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?

What race ramp setup do you use?

Bonus points if you happen to have any photos you took of the ramp setup... I'm thinking ahead to the first oil change on mine and thinking about whether or not I need new, more gradual, ramps. Too much stuff in the garage to get at the front of the car right now but I'm thinking new ones will need a spot in the budget.
