Default Jack up 2001 996 for a oil change

I want to change my oil before a DE this weekend. Where can I safely jack up the rear of the car with a single jack. I'd like to let the car sit level overnite and let the oil really drain out. One jack point would be a lot easier then having to jack each side up for a jack stand. Thanks.

You do not need to jack up the car. Get on your back and you can remove the plug and filter quite easily.

I drive mine up on 4 18 inch long 2 x 6's. Gives me a little more room to work, and the car stays nice and level.

As leedav said this is the easy way...

That's exactly what I do. Up on two 1 inch boards about 2 feet long. Works just fine.
