I bought a vette about a year ago and I need to change the oil. Can someone help me please and tell me where to place the jack correctly without damaging the car.
Thanks

Just be sure if you use the side jacking points (dark red circles), you use jacking pucks to keep the jack from contacting the rocker panel and damaging it.
When I change my oil, I use a set of Rhino Ramps for the front (jack the car up and slide the Rhino Ramps under the front wheels) then lift the rear up where it is slightly higher than the front.

Jack, quick question: Can you be more specific please? Are you saying you use the Frame puck locations on both sides of the front, and add the ramps one side at a time?
Then for the rear, where exactly are you lifting? Are you just using a floor jack? I have to change mine soon here too, and man, trying to get the jack under there is pretty tough and mine goes down to 3-3/4".
