I do HIGHLY recommend you get a power filler like I linked below. It's worth every penny and takes only seconds to fill the last 1.5 liters in while the engine is running, vs trying to operate a pump while crammed underneath.

Also recommend wrapping exhaust pipe next to fill port with an old towel, your arms flesh will thank you later.

I use 4 ramps and just drive right up all 4 at same time to save time and hassle on jacking up truck and guarantees it's perfectly level. It is very close clearance on stock M's so if you are lowered double check to make sure you can clear ramps in rear before buying them.

Curious what make and model ramps do you use?
