Front Jack stand position for prius c

I know this doesn't answer your question directly, but this is how I address it:

 

You can get the jack under there, but can't raise it? Why, because the jack handle's so far under it bangs the car underbody before it starts making pressure? None whatsoever?

If so try a longer jack? 3 tons typically are a good level.

With out 3rd gen regular, the rear jacking point is a long reach under, the first few strokes are very short, due limited headroom.

In the interim, running the front wheels up onto a pair of 2x8's might be enough, to gain needed clearance.

 

Thanks for your thread! I got the same question here.

I was afraid to ask more questions on my thread because it made me the only person with the problem and look stupid. Now I know there's at least one more person got the exact problem I've had.

 

Hello! I have two tips.
1) Do not jack it up at all for oil change. (On Prius C oil drain plug is right behind passenger wheel. And oil filter also can be easily reached. There is no need in going under the car at all. I owe Prius C 2014 and I normally don't jack my car up when I change oil.)
2) Use ramps. (I personally use ramps for any jobs which don't require wheels off the ground. IMHO it is safer in the case of sudden earthquake.)
