Also, given the height of the car, I'm assuming I'll have to backup onto the ramps and have the rear elevated. Is that how most people do it (with Rhino ramps)?

I use rhino ramps and jack the front up to get the car levelled. I think it's important to have the car levelled to drain the oil properly. It's not possible to vacuum the oil out because it doesn't have a dipstick where you can access the sump. Someone else might have a different opinion. That's the best thing about this forum ...knowledge and experience sharing.
