Jack stands or Ramps?
I plan to do my own oil changes. I guess Ramps would be easiest, but what happenes when I need to take off the wheel? I'm thinking the jacks would be good for both oil changes and taking the wheels off, but it's a PITA to put on.
1. What do you guys think I should buy?
2. What brand do you use for whatever you have?

Considering the hassle to buy oil, dispose, clean tools, etc. i stopped doing oil
changes myself. Just too lazy. I just take it to the dealer and get it done...
no appointments, $27 total, free coffee, a nice walk in the indoor automall
looking at other Infiniti's, 911's M3's SL's Maybach, etc. when you put
all the time together it takes about 1hr to drive to the store, get your stuff,
do the change and bring back the old oil. $27/hr is hell cheap vs my time.
Anyone else converted to a lazy-*** like me? i do mods, but maintenance
is work for my dealer.

I do my own oil changes with Rhino ramps - much easier than using the jack. For tire rotations, of course I use jack stands. I use K&N filter with Mobil 1. Total price $30. Go to the dealer for that, it would be over $60 plus you would have to bring your own K&N filter so add another $11 for that. I will gladly take the 30 min myself to save $30 and use the best parts. When you have 4 cars to do, it adds up.
