    about to do my first oil change on my 2016 prius.
    where is the correct spot to jack up the car with enough room for the jack stands to sit correctly?
    I'm guessing the jacking points on the sides with the little bump?
    anywhere else that is safe and would have clear room for the jack stands?

    pics would be helpful.

    thanks.

    I use drive up ramps. They are plastic that I purchased in an auto parts store. I think they were about $50. Much easier and safer than jacking the up the car and getting under it.
