I have a 2022 ES300h.

I enjoy doing some maintenace myself like oil changes and tire rotations. Did my first Oil change with using ramps - it went pretty well although it was still pretty tight under neath is.

I'm planning on doing a tire rotation at approx 6,000 miles so just wondering if the vehicle can be lifting from such a hydraulic quicklift. Where can you place the lift to be able to lift it?

 

You can use the quick jack, a floor jack, or your car jack. Just place the jack at the indicated jacking point in your owner's manual. Usually right behind each front wheel and just in front of the rear wheels.

 

I have a QuickJack and I will be lifting my ES likely next month to install winter tires so I’ll let you know but I don’t think there will be any issues.

 

any and all tire shops lift most cars by the "pinch weld seam" (as it's called on japanese cars) between the front and back wheels. i imagine it's safe here. i've seen a lot of those chewed up though so i use a special hockey puck adapter from anazon.

i'll be rotating my tires this weekend too and my method has been using two jacks to lift each side up at a time, swap the wheels/tires and rinse and repeat on the other side.

glad to have another hybrid on board that does their own maintenance! switching from german to japanese, all my german and bmw specific tools became useless and i had to buy a few new things. but not too bad.

 

oh and when you do an oil change, there's a lift point at the front subframe for lifting. then lower the car on two jackstands under the front pinch seams and have three resting points for the front when you get under it to undo the filter etc. redundancy is key! unless you use your fancy lifter to do the whole thing.
