Apparently you didn't splurge and get the al-fresco package which allows you to roll down your rear windows. Riding around in a convertible with the back windows up with the top down is kinda like wearing suspenders/braces with your belt on to. . . Please don't embarrass your LC 500 in such a manner. (You can even see that she is so embarrassed, she turned all red;-)

Good day to perform the 30k mile oil change. Actual mileage 29,781k.
This is my preferred method to work under the car...

I'm curious to know as well. Maybe the blocks separate and you can raise each wheel a third of the total height at a time???

I agree. Let's get on with it. Less time spent at dealer, the better my life is.

They dry dock ships on wooden cribs, my friend. Wood has been used for Eons to support heavy items. Better than any jack or jack stand you can come up with...when you know, you know!

You can jack each corner at a time, If you like. Using these 4 locations.





I prefer to use the front jacking point, just forward of the oil drain plug access panel.
It looks iffy when you're underneath the car because you see an aluminum cover pan. Running underneath that cover pan though, is the main frame of the car that attaches to both front, lower control arms.
(large arrow is the jack point itself, smaller arrows depict a small peek at the main frame running underneath the aluminum pan).
This is the forward jacking point, illustrated in the owner's manual.




I use the rear jacking point, the differential, which is hard mounted to the main frame. This jacking point is also illustrated in the owner's manual. I would suggest using a piece of wood underneath the differential rather than the hard surface of a jack. My setup uses a jacking puck for Tesla's that I got from Amazon and a piece of 2x4.

It was a little joke. I didn't actually believe those were Jenga pieces.
