You can use Mayle filters as well.

Buy 5 and you will use 4

And don't over tighten the drain plug. Use a torque wrench.
When you buy new filters from ECS tuning, also get new copper washers for the drain plug.

Will all your oil drain if you use those ramps seeing as the car will be inclined? If you use a jack you can let the car down while the oil is draining. Don't get me wrong I would rather use the ramps.

Pick up a set of Rhino Ramps too, they are very helpful for oil changes. Much easier than jacking the car up.
