Other than the standard jacking points under the rocker panels, where can I jack up the front of the car to do an oil change? Does anyone have a diagram or photo showing the best front jacking point? I've searched and only found a few diagrams, and couldn't really figure out what I was looking at (including in the manual). Of course, I'll be placing stands under the rockers for safety.

 

Welcome to the forum

For DIY.. lThe model needs to either use the factory jacking points or ramps ONLY. Any other way you are likely to damage something.

 

Thanks for the quick reply, Callisto. I was hoping that there was a suitable crossmember up front. :-(

 

While I could not and would not use the cross member because any slip and you could damage your suspension or alignment setting.

Humanly unsafe but can be done in a pinch or desperate need. Jack up one side as if changing a tire place a jack stand under the lower control arm and then raise the other side and place another jack stand.

 

Thanks again for the advice. I wish they'd designed it in a way where you could place the jack and the jack stand in the same spot on that pinched jack spot. Nah, that'd be too sensible.... Have a great weekend!
