Default Jack locations?

I'm going to be chaning the oil in my GT in the next day or so, but while looking around I can't seem to find a good spot to position the jack in the front. Do I have to jack side to side or what?

Thanks

The best is to get "rhino ramps" - plastic, but hold 2 tons each - about $20.
Safer than a jack.

Download the 2004 owners manual at the sticky at the top of this section.
Jacking instructions start about p. 233.

I went throught the same thing when I rotated tires. I ended up doing each side. If you have a low enough drain pan and long enough arms you can drain the oil without jacking it up.
