Hi Forum
I've decided to start getting my hands dirty by getting to know my car. For my first project I'm going to change the air filter and change the oil.
I plan to use a trolley jack and place the car on axle stands. Where is the best place to locate the trolley jack under the car? I've read a few articles on how some people raise the car. Most seem to raise the car from the manufactures jacking point and then place the axle stand on the raised point and then proceed to do the same on the other side of the car. Is this a safe approach? Is there a central point I could jack the car from using a trolley jack (please describe or send pictures if possible) and then place the axle stands? Also where is the best place to position the axle stands (again pictures or description would be greatly appreciated)?
I also understand that you should take the car out of sports mode before raising the car and also use a low profile trolley jack.
