Note that the factory workshop manual Section 100-02 (and doubtless also the owner's handbook in your glove-box) specifically states the jack that came with car is only designed for and, should only be used to change a deflated tyre in an emergency, and never to use that jack to hoist the car for any other purpose. Essentially, they are not stable enough to use for any mechanical repairs and maintenance where even a hand might be under the car and be crushed if they tip over.
I have two jacks one normal one low profile and it's what I have been using the car jacks are not the issue the issue is the car stands I am not able to place them in the only suitable location as the conflict with the car jacks.
