The other thing to consider is how to elevate your vehicle enough to get access to change the oil. Ramps you can drive the front two wheels up on may be easier then a jack stand. My garage in Austin had a handy lip I could put the ramps against to ensure they stayed in place.



Forget elevating your car, just use an Oil Extractor like the PELA. I do that to change the oil in my VW Golf TDI. It's a notoriously hard car to change the oil on because it's so low and because it has a huge oil pan plate that must be removed to gain access to the drain plug. The Oil Extractors making change oil a snap.
