CM C6 oil change...

Does my car need to be level as was required for my C5? Doesn't say anything in the owners manual so does it mean I can just drive up my low profile ramps and do the job? '08 Z06 w/ dry sump here. There are 2 drain plugs like on the old Lincoln LSC's.

HI there,
You can change your oil regularly.
You might also want to take a look in the bulletins section about correct oil filling of the LS7.
Allthebest, c4c5

BTW, if you're tired of oil running out of the filter and down your arm as soon as you loosen it, try this. After making sure I have the correct replacement filter and draining the oil, I punch a small hole in the old filter with a 10 penny nail. When the oil in the filter has finished draining, slip a small zip lock baggie over it and remove it. Zip the baggie and dispose of the filter. No mess!
