Dude, why are you jacking ur car up in the middle of the car, especially under the engine nonetheless. The jacking point is right behind the front tires about a foot back......but not halfway under the car. Get on ur knee's and look. You will see the jacking point. There is like a couple small notches on the frame that indicate where the jack should be used.

Either use 1 jack and 2 jackstands, or 2 jacks and no jackstands. If you are doing just a simple oil change, go get some Rhino Ramps so that you can just drive up onto them.

please learn how to use a jack, its basic knowledge that you never let just the jack hold the car up since there's always a chance that it can spring a leak and everything can come crashing down (onto you).

the center jack point is there for a reason....

Of course I used jack stands and you mean, learn how to jack up a car.


This is what I'm used to, notice the metal plate behind the oil pan and not plastics like the LS.
What is wrapped up with Kevlar insulation wrap in the pic?

Headers, it's a WRX. It has a flat/boxer engine and those pipes you see in front of the oil pan are going from the driver's side to the right side to the up pipe to feed the turbo.
