Yup those Rhino ramps come in very handy for oil changes, and since the drain plug is at the rear of the pan, the tilt actually helps it to drain.
As for the chocks that came with the SVX, I think I've used them once. They're probably rusted together now. I usually just set the parking brakes.

I have a set of ramps and use them when I have to and I also have a set of cast metal jackstands. I do, however, need to invest in a good floor jack.
Now, here's a question: How many of you have actually used the wheel chocks that came in the tool kit? (Or ANY tool in the tool kit for that matter?)
