Hi,
If you don't have this yet:
I would buy a 3 ton roll under jack with jack stands (Sears $100). It will be a good longterm investment.
I find that it is easier for me to jack up the car from the front than to mess with the ramps. I put the jack stands on the sub frame by the tow hook things.
Change oil when just a little warm your first time, incase it spills on you.
I have heard it is a good idea to use a 6 point socket instead of a 12 point. The drain plug can be a pain in the butt to loosen. I have had to slide a copper pipe over my wrench to get enough leverage.
You should think about buying the Haynes manual from cybertroll (sponsor below)
Good luck
-Peter
