Have used ramps for oil changes on a number of cars: Boxster, VW Golf TDi, GTO, Cayman S, Porsche Turbo. Ramps work great.
However, now if I wanted to service my cars I'd get a portable hydraulic lift ideally one that allowed me lift the car by its tires/wheels which is nice for oil/filter servicing or lift the car by its factory sanctioned lift points -- the ones the lift/support the car at the same lift points the lift in the dealer service bay uses -- which would be for removing wheels or doing brakes.
