I am going to change the oil on my 90 si hatch for the first time tomorrow, i was wondering where i should jack at and where i should put the jack stands.

I would just go ahead and try to figure it out but i read alot of stories of people jacking up their ef's and not being to open their doors and stuff like that. Thanks

 

Heres a little tip, if you jack the car up from the sides ( rather then the front cross member ) you will be able to get the car up higher when you put it on jack stands. Not pictured in the pics are the frame lift points, you can also jack it up there.

 

can i jack from one of the side points, then put a jackstand in place of it and just do one side, drop it down and do the other?

yes you can. but if you want it to be easier, and you have the convenience of a floor jack, thats the best way.

Yes you can, but if you jack it up from the pinch weld, you usually won't be able to get the jack stand in there.

 

Picture taken from Keith, the picture shows where the frame is to jack it up from there.
