    Doesn't Toyota cover oil changes in the first 24,000 miles. Have you gone over 24K miles already?

    The "best" ramp is likely a tall curb. Run two wheels up a curb and that should be enough.

    I use the Rhino Ramps that I bought at Advanced Auto on sale one time. They are low profile for the low front of the car and work great for oil changes, etc.

    Yes Toyota covers oil Changes but I Change my own oil. Toyota does a lot of CHECKING which I can do myself. Also a trip to dealer around here is all day affair. Thanks
