I am concerned about a Chiefs three-peat, that would be "turrible, just turrible" (Charles Barkley spelling & quote).
His family is a wreck, but there's something about Mahomes I like. Plus a big fan of the coach.

In my experience, having the front end up on ramps should be fine for oil changes, as long as the car is level enough for most of the oil to flow toward the drain bolt. The angle could cause a little oil to stay in certain parts of the engine, but generally, it won’t be enough to worry about unless you're doing a full engine flush. When I’ve used ramps for my own oil changes, I’ve noticed that once the oil’s drained, there’s often still a bit left in the pan—so I usually let it sit for a bit longer to ensure everything drains out.
