I've seen the jack points in another thread but can't find it. Just wanted a single front jack point centered under motor for an oil change w/ a wheel jack(I'll rest jackstands under the scissor-jack side mounts). Thanks for help or a link to the other thread (pics are apreciated)

 

Just get some rhino ramps. Much easier and safer than a jack i feel.

 

I asked a similar question before and was told that this car dont have a center jack point....

However, there is a place(s) good for jacking up the car, I'm no talking about the spare tire jack point. It's part of the suspension I think but I could be wrong, when I take my car in for oil change they use that and I was like hmmm good jack point cuz the spre tire jack points are lame and filmsy.

I still haven't tried the ramps yet myself because I've been getting free changes at my dealer. Does it require two people? One to drive and the other to spot?

 

^ Two people is definitely the safest way to go with ramps.

 

YOu can use the ramps with one person easy. Just put the foot of the ramp under the tire, and slowly drive up. Rhino ramps have a large lip at the end of the ramp so its reallly hard to drive over the ramp. Ive always done it bymyself and havent had any problems.

 

there is a bump in the center of the alloy piece at the ever bottom of the front of the car. If you kneel down and look from the front of the car, you will see it. This is where I jacked up this car every time, using the floor jack. Next you must use the jack stands to support the car at the frame. Good luck.

 

May have to look into the Rhino ramps, do you go w/ the 8000 or 12000 model?

 

Rhino Ramps are on sale this week at Part Source in Canada, I might go pick some up.

 

I went with the most heavy duty ones they had.

 

Ramps are the best, but I don't like to drive up the ramps. So I have to jack up the car first and use the ramps, for supports, later. I also don't like to drive off the ramps because I scratched and broke a piece of the bumper on my last car (Evo 8, it was)

 

yeah, my last car was 2 inch from the ground, no ramps would work, have to drive up staggered wood blocks/pieces just to drive on to make room for the floor jack

i don't think it should be too confusing to see which part of the frame can be used as a jack point, now i have to go and look, lol

 

i just jack it up on the drivers side+a jack stand...you only need to be under the car for a couple minutes total...

 

I build wooden ramps, bolted 2x12's together, for a 6" rise and also bolted 2x10's together, for a 6" rise.

Does well with our 06 Odyssey, all our previous cars, and my parent's cars.

I'm just a bit leery of Rhino ramps. They're plastic and if they fail, I don't think there will be any warning.

 

That's a good idea, I've got a couple 4x8 sheets of 1/2" OSB, I could just cut them in 8" wide sections and stack 'em up to make them a 3 foot long staircase about 6" high.
