I will say that ramps (folks seem to like a brand called Ryno or Rhino
ramps) work very will for engine oil and other work unrelated to
tires/brakes.

bumper is too low to clear most of the ramps you find out there. I
assume the greater ground clearance on more recent ones solves this
problem.

here's link to a little discussion. Much of this probably still aplies
to newer models.http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1247483&highlight=ja...

Get a floor jack and a pair of stands. Use the scissors jack only forI gave away a pair of metal ramps. It was as hard to set them up with
a runway, as it was to jack the car and use stands, and the ramps were
big, bulky, and heavy, plus I didn't trust them.
I think I saw a pic of the Rhino's on a forum, but they didn't look
that tall. Here in the city on the street, space is a premium, though
right now I have a good bit of room.
