Question regarding jacking the car...

Three Wheelin'
The fifth jackpoint is fine. I wasn't confident until I stumbled onto a Porsche racing team using that jackpoint quite aggressively, and have been for years.
Pelican Parts, experts as far as I know, shows this as an option, too (pic).
Pucks can be used as hard rubber bumpers/cushions as well. Please chock the front wheels when lifting the car.

There have been a few threads that recommend using the oil pan/engine as a jack point but if you delve deeper into the threads more than a few people mention that this method burst their aging engine mounts.

Anybody try this solution? Yes it's expensive but compact. Of course, JackPoint Stands are much cheaper. Check the gallery photos and you'll see quite a few P cars in the air…. http://www.ezcarlift.com

I was waiting for the black and white guy to show up lol. Again that's I been using and I know it's safe at least for me if anyone else can't or doesn't do it this way that's ok with me I am just showing an alternative that has worked without injury or damage

Most people seem to believe the cross bar is an appropriate fifth jack point so you can put stands under the official jackpoints in the rear.
