Using a floor Jack?
Have any of you used a floor jack to jack up your car? If so where are you placing it? I'm looking underneath the car with a flash light and I can't tell what is plastic and what is not.....and no I can't reach the middle parts underneath the car. This is in the front of the car, to change oil ect...

I use a floor jack all the time. For jacking the car up, I use the load bearing points, where the plastic rocker panel on the underside has square tabs cut out and you can feel the thin metal "slats" or strips.
I do not put the jack stands on those, I pit them on something more solid. On the front end, when I change my oil, I put them on the diagnol chassis brace bars just in front of the cats. See this link for a pic, these diagnol braces are painted black.

Actually, further out to the sides.
On these diagnol braces, there are "oval" or pill shaped cut-outs. These cut-outs are almost just in front of the cats and just behind the suspension A-arms.
The transverse brace that goes under the MT82 and conncects to the diagnol braces is whee these cut-outs line up.
