Found the spot just in front of the oil pan as looking at it from the front of the car, barely got my floor jack under there and the handle hit the underside of the front spoiler for a few strokes until the plate started lifting the car. After that it went fine. Put the stands under the front corners of the frame rails, got the oil out no prob, the filter off and out no problem. Just make sure when you do this, to not forget to take out the metal insert inside the old oil filter that has to be transferred into the center of the new one.
I put in what I thought would be the 6.6 qts of oil, but it didnt raise the level up to the top mark, so I just put in the entire 7th quart and it got close to the mark. Used Valvoline Syn Power Synthetic, 5W/30. 1st oil change, 1,315 miles. Thanks to all that posted pictures, etc., that helped me find the spot to put the floor jack. DanF
