Default changing oil...what a nightmare!

just had a go at changing my oil....and had to accept defeat.

couldnt get under the car...too low. couldnt get it up on wheel ramps...bumper touching ramps before tyre.

Had the same problem with my lowered wagon.
Found the answer was to get two 6ft lengths of 6" by 2" and lay them on the top rung of the ramps and it gives a much lower angle to run the car up.
