I've been thinking about whether it's worthwhile to get both jack + ramps but I'm leaning toward just getting jack + 4 nice stands. Would you jack up both ends or just the front for oil change/plate clean?
Thanks

Here's what I do for a quick oil change:
Open the oil fill cap. Jack the front of the car (at the center crossmember) just high enough to slip a
low height sealable drain pan under the car. Crack open the
fumoto valve and let it drain. Remove oil filter. Once draining is sufficient, close fumoto valve, drop the car. Fill oil, wet a new filter and install. Run engine, check oil level, Done.
To clean visible debris (leaves, rocks, dirt, etc) from the belly pan you could use an air compressor and a long neck blow nozzle down through the engine compartment. Just push it around until it leaves the tray.
