Then again, it takes maybe 30 seconds to jack up the other side of the same end and you may get that time back from ease of working under the vehicle, or less soreness the next day because you didn't have to be a contortionist to get work done. Granted an oil change is usually not that arduous a process to make as much difference as some other repairs where you don't have a lift and are working on the ground.
IME, the lifting height to get a tire off is much less than to get a jack stand, even in a low position under the car. This is the case for low-slung cars like my 135i, and high, old school ones like like my old Mercedes cars.
Its a matter of a few inches, which may not matter, but depending upon suspension configuration, and if another corner lifts to get there, might be a consideration...
