proper jack points
 

2010 Mazda 3.
Instead of using the scissor jack from the trunk, I want to use a floor jack and a couple jack stands to raise the car. I'd like to find out -

1. can i use a floor jack with those notches ( shown from the manual ), are they only for the scissor jack and jack stands?

2. where would be the best jack points to raise the FRONT, and the REAR of the car?

3. best spots to place the jack stands?

many thanks.
