Rather than a quick jack, i was looking at building a drive on ramp with old wooden pallet wood like this guy.

For something like oil change whereby only that little more space is needed, this method is actually really good enough. I have 2 solid pieces of wood previously from window frames that I plan to add wheels (damn heavy to carry then) to tilt and pull around for this purpose as a future small project. Its just a little too much hassle to bring out and setup the jack and stands when things as simple as oil changes are due.

Things that I've narrowed down to take note:
- floor surface must not be too slippery for it to slip when the vehicle is driven onto it (esp certain type of porch tiles)
- the approach angle from the bottom of the wheel to d lower edge of the bumper (if the ramp is too steep and too high, you might scratch or dislodge the bumper/skirt). 'steps' with sufficient spaces between them might be needed.
