Central jacking point?

I cannot seem to find anything in the owners manual on a central jacking point. I am going to be doing all my own oil changes and tire rotations. I am looking for where to lift the car in the front and rear to allow me to put my jackstands on the passenger and driver side simultaneously. Any help?

there are pinch welds behind the front tire and in front of the rear that you should use. I've done it and its solid.

For the board-on lift are you lifting from the reinforced part of the sill behind front tire and in front of rear tire or just from the regular part of the sill buy the front and rear of door?

just my .02 but a nice pair of ramps really makes it easy, just be careful driving up on the ramps, take it slow.
cheers,

I made adapters for my jack stands using hockey pucks so they would fit over and around the welded ridge at the jacknstand locations. If u look at the jack provided with the car u will see how it works. Just 2 pucks and a grinder.

I have ramps but I want jackstands under the car to take all 4 wheels off at a time to do tire rotations.
