Default Lifting Car for maintenance

For Lexus ES 350 2010, what equipment one should have to lift the car and work safely underneath it for maintenance like oil etc.
Jack Stands, wooden blocks, rhino ramps?
Any particular brands which are of great quality?

It is nice to have at least 2 jack stands. I have these since 2014 and they are excellent:

Also, I have a floor jack.

Get tower rail rubber protectors

IMO, the best investment to protect the car chassis and lower frame.




Floor jack rubber pads

I don’t trust ramps. I’m happy with a Daytona jack I got from harbor freight a few years ago for $120. I use rubber wheel chocks.

I recommend getting jack stands with an extra safety pin.

Also, get a heavy-duty liquid catch pan as those cheap plastic ones aren’t worth it.
