Level is always good, maybe a fingernail above the full mark. I also use ramps to change oil, but check the oil when it is back on level ground.
Thank you for the reply.
it is very strange as i can see you also have ecotec 2.2 engine.
Next week i am planning to do oil change and follow as u said.
I will try to remove oil using jack and level it...may be it remove more oil by that. lets see.
I appreciate your help.
