I did my first change on a set of Rhino Ramps. Get the bigger version of the two they offer (you don't need the extra weight capacity, but the extra width is nice for our fatass tires). Get a pair of short sections of 2x8 board while you're at if you have the Sport Package - you need it to clear the spoilers over the ramps (set the 2x8 in front of the ramps on the ground as a pre-ramp).
I was a little concerned that being at an angle on the Rhino Ramps would mean not getting a complete drain, but it seems to have worked out ok. I got 5.25 quarts of refill, which is right in line with what I'd expect. Now that I know where everything is, I think I might try to find a shallow pan solution that can slide under the car without jacking, and do it level on the ground next time.
