Using Rhino Ramps to do oil change...ok?

I've noticed that the bolt for the oil pan on the C220 is facing forward...if I use Rhino Ramps to lift the front of the car up, will this get most of the oil out? I've read that some use a jack to jack up one side of the car to get the oil out but I think the ramps will work just fine?

thanks!

don't use ramps, suck it out.

If the drain plug is in the front like it is in the Vette, you will have to jack up the rear higher than the front to get all the oil out.
