Nope. I buy hers. This was the second of three oil changes I offered in exchange for a part she bought spontaneously for me

After that I'll do them for free, but she has to go to Walmart to get the oil

I do not use ramps. Although, I am going to make some ... someday. Out of 2x8s or 10s stood on end with about 8 of them bolted together. I plan to cut them extremely long and shallow to be friendly for lowered vehicles - the goal is they should be enough to easily get a floor jack to the front center jack point.

Right now I just use a 2x12 laid flat under one front tire. For stock height vehicles (i.e. mine), it allows me to reach the center jack point without issue. But I still have to use the side pinch rails on Ms. Pint's Z. I don't think she's lowered, but her front lip prevents me from getting to the center jack point.
