Default Do I need ramps? oil change

This is the oil I've bought for my 1999 Turbo 2000 wagon, (standard) - do i need ramps to get underneath it or it can I jack it up and use an axle stand ?
Thanks in advance

Depending on if its lowered, i can easily change the oil without even jacking the car up, just lie on your back and ease under. Only problem might be leverage on the drain plug.

filter is a doddle to remove...just off centre to drivers side and easy to bet a filter wrench on it....the drain plug is also just behind it and easy to do...

Dont forget you need to remove the undertray to get to the filter!
Jack one side and support with axle stand then do the same on the other side.
