Did anyone hear the screams??
Changed oil in the G today...first time since I got it at the end of January. So I unbolt the cover and what do I spy screwed to my block?? See pic 1! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Luckily I have the good stuff onhand. See pic 2. Luckily AMSoil comes in quarts (hmm, I used to have a g/f like that, but nevermind) so 5 fit perfectly with filter change.
Rhino ramps work great in pic 3.
That nasty piece of Mopar metal where it belongs in pic 4. Actually as far as I can tell, the construction is EXACTLY the same as the Wix, right down to the '20' stamped on the...whateveryacallit, the part you screw on. Probably the same piece. But what I wanna know is how the hell I get a Mopar filter on and Infiniti that I bought from a Toyota dealer?!?!? And they did the oil change prior to my buying the car. Musta gotta deal.

They are made of some kind of composite plastic...very sturdy, and I didn't really have any trouble driving up on them. I have a gradually sloped aggregate driveway, so I backed the car in, put the ramps on the aggregate and drove on without any slippage. They do have a little rubber 'foot' that is meant to prevent them from sliding. Plus with the driveway slope, it gave my just a bit more room to slide under (insert joke here about how much room I need).

As you say, you've got the good stuff in here now with the right filter so she's good to go (fast )
I like my Rhinos too and now that Ian came up with a no slip solution, they'll work well on my slippery floor/driveway. -- a couple of stands like G-Force says is cheap insurance......
