Default Jacking Points for Oil Change

Found a youtube video for jacking up the car and placing jack stands.

Are these the right positions? Especially for the jack stand? THanks.

^lower LCA ... yes, I've seen several members here that have done exactly that.

The other option, and what the lexus manual says to do, is to use the spot welds (on the side skirts where the scissor jack goes), but you need a custom adapter to get you jack stands to fit properly (You don't want to bend it)

... I want to make something like this: (Got this from the mustang forums)

That's neat with the jack stand. Where can I get one? Or how do I make one? Thanks.
