Lifting GLE 450 for oil change

A 450 curb weight is at least 5060lb, above the typical 5000lb of a QuickJack 5000 TL.

What do DIYers do for oil changes?

1. You are not lifting the whole vehicle, just one or two wheels.
2. Ramps.

I use ramps - super easy. I posted pics and OC steps a few years ago on this site if you want to search.

RhinoRamps -- you can pickup a set at most any auto store for about $60. Safer than jacks or jackstands.

I lift the driver's front corner and put a jack stand under for safety. Gives plenty of space to remove all the underguard panels and make the change.

I've been using these with my floor jacks and the factory jacking points. Then slip a stand under the control arms or other solid point for safety. Works great.
