2010 4.6 lifting the car

[janusz88]

Hi,

So I been here for a while and found many helpful posts. (just replaced my alternator @ 103k). While I found some suggestions about jacking the car up i am still got some questions. (I searched, found the pdf about the points etc...). before I used the scissor jack on the pinch welds and put the jack stand there usually one just for oil change.

Now that i got a floor jack, low profile 2.5T I want to lift the whole front or back since i need more access for some services i need to do like transmission oil change (need to put it on 4 jack stands).

1. there is a cross membrane in front of the oil pan under the plastic, can i jack the car up from there? (seems the gen coupe people seems to use this part)
2. in the back the steel after the differential seems narrow, do you guys use some wood or just run the saddle to that point and lift?
3. In the pdf from this form about jacking the car up, it says B, C points not sure how to jack from B or over the headbolt.
4. pictures would be great!

Thank you

I have jacked mine up from the both areas you mentioned, it will be fine.

The BH user manual says to use the pinch welds. I use a floor jack and a slotted hockey puck like this one.

Hey. I know about the pinch welds. I was interested more into center lifting points since my jack does not allow to place the jack stand and the jack at the same time. But thank you for replying.
