Tunnie,

For routine servicing like this, why not just grab a pair of ramps and not bother jacking at all?

I picked some up a while ago for bobbins and I can have a car on them, oil drained quicker than just jacking a car up.

To a certain extent you're duplicating tools, but given it sounds like you'll be dropping the oil every 8 minutes or so it will probably pay for itself in time saved in short order. Not to mention I'd feel safer with it on ramps than jack stands. Just personal preference though.

These are mine, but I didn't buy them new and paid rather less

Thanks 

Yes I have some ramps very similar to those, but as Henry says the front is low. I've struggled to use them without an additional block of wood to make them less steep.

Make that 2, that's much better than bodging on some blocks of wood.

Will get pair of those soon, bank balance needs to recover a bit from buying the VW and now all bits and bobs like VCDS I need to get.
