Thanks for the advice. I change oil on 4 cars. Two kids commuting to college and one still in high school. So, I built a set of full size car ramps from treated lumber. The ramps elevate the entire car 10 inches. It is a lot easier to service the cars when they aren't front end high. It really helped me speed up the changes on the other three. On the XF, I intentionally took extra time, looked it over front to back and became familiar with how it looked underneath.
