Post Good set of ramps

Can someone recommend a good set of ramps to pick up for changing oil with these big nose F-bods?

And on a side note, ... how much oil is being left in th3e pan with the car jacked up on an angle?? Does it make that much of a difference not having the car exactly level???

I got a set of black platic rhino ramps, i think wall mart carries them. I've used on both birds (94 formula and 02 ws6) with no problems. I also back on to them to do the rear end fluid.


good luck

Rhino ramps from places like walmart. They are for low clearance vehicles and are made of plastic.

You definately have to have the low clearance ramps. If you buy a set of cheap steel ramps they will scratch the underside of the nose when driving up on them.

I don't know if it's "better" but it's definately "easier".
