    For tire rotation using the front jack point you can lift the entire side of the car. I'd use jack stands for an oil change if I was going to be under the car at all.

    I find using a set of Rhino raps works great for doing oil changes. For tire rotations I use a floor jack under the front jacking pad & rotate front to rear one side at a time. No way would I work under a car supported only by a jack. Jacks can fail.

    Nathan is correct. Lift with the forward jack point and both tires are raised.

    Thanks for the response. I do have a set of Rhino ramps I could use for oil change, and of course y'all are dead on with the tire rotation. Thanks
