Jack Stands - front - I gor right under the lower control arm, works perfectly, no nicks or damage at all
Thanks bro. Good info.

Yeah it is hard to see and I am at stock ride height and I still drive up on some spare boards to get my jack underneath it but it beats having to jack up both sides. I will look for the image from the service manual I made or I can post it for you when I get home.

they dont slide...but I drove off it before in my old Altima. Pure bad. Didn't care too much because the car had 260,000 km on it. That's what happens when no one is there to say STOP.

If all you want is access to change the oil you should just buy some rhino ramps - they are WAY easier than having to deal with a jack and jack stands.
