I'd prop it up by the oil pan of course...JUST KIDDING!!! You can jack the car up by any point on the frame or the crossmember. DO NOT JACK IT UP BY THE OIL PAN!!!!!!!!!! LOL

There are four notches under the car where the jack is supposed to be placed. You will see them in front of the driver and passenger doors (under the body where the frame begins) and in the back, in front of the tires, same place as the front.

Good luck.

the engine and tranny sit in a boxed frame.you can jack it up this way ,but the safest way is to jack up each side in the area of the notch and use jackstands for support.there are two skidplates beside the front notches that will support the jack so you can put stands in the notches.also always turn off air susp.before those wheels leave the ground.
