As posted in the past by someone else you can just turn the wheels all the way to the left to expose enough room to be able to get to the engine drain plug. (I currently use this method.)
Otherwise you can pull of the engine cover and reach down behind the engine and access the plug from the top. This is effective if the plug has never been out of the engine given that the factory really puts a lot of torque on the plug.
I have tested *ALL* low profile ramps (with or without extentions) and could not find a set that would permit the Viggen to roll up onto the ramp without modifications. Obviously you can put a floor jack under the center front jacking point and use stands. This is what I do for any major work.
