I use a AC Hydraulics floor jack. My car is lowered about 3/4" and this jack will go under the front or rear of the car without any aids to raise it some first. From the front it makes all the way to the cradle and then I lift the entire front of the car. The rear cradle is easy to access. Fairly easy to get the entire up in the air.

AC jacks are great but are not readily available in the USA. Compac also has two models of 2-ton floor jacks with a low 5" high and long 37"+ frame. The Compac jacks are made in Denmark, have a three year warranty, and available rebuild kits. They are not throw away jacks and are the type of tool that you pass on to your grandkids.

Jacking c7
Hi, another question from a newcomer to the site. Car is on order, manual talks about a 2.5” diameter, circular foot for a floor jack. Haven’t found such an animal yet.
What have you home wrenches found to change the cars oil if you don’t have personal access to a garage lift? Thanks, Don
