Where is the best place to lift up the front end, when changing oil......................

Buy rhino ramps - auto stores carry them. About $20 or so. They're plastic, hold up to 2 tons, and have a ramp angle that lets you drive on without hitting the body. Easier & safer than jacking.

Thanks Quick Silverdon, I have a nice 3 Ton Jack that I thought I might use on the Turbo.

Your suggestion is not to use the JACK..............

There's no single point on the front to jack - just 2 points on side.

Oh, Welcome to the Forum![?]

So would you consider me jacking her up right under the drivers side door .....

It's actually right below the front door seam - you'll see a little flat spot in the seam weld. The drain & filter are actually a little closer to passenger side, but pretty centered.

Thanks for your help.

It's okay - I'm trying to squelch all those rumors that I'm not good for anything!

If your jack goes far enough under, you can place it in the center of the K-member.

USE JACK STANDS BEFORE GOING UNDER!

Is with the Rino ramps. One of the best things I've bought
