Jack Stands, Floor Jack and Oil Filter?

[sickpuppy1]

I made my own ramps from some leftover 2 x 10 wood leftover from a deck project. the bottom is about18" long the next is a foot long and the top is about 7" long. It creates a ramp that raises the car 6" long or so and stable as hell. It cant collapse and I put a strip of old skateboard tape on the bottom so it doesnt slide. easy, cheap and safe.
The wood is glued and screwed together. you could use another layer if you wanted the car higher too. And I've never needed to put my oil filter more than hand tight to get it to seal. Do you put a layer of oil on the gasket b4 you spin it on? you should...
