They sell a floor jack at Costco from Arcan for $100.

I consider a jack a safety item which is not something to skimp on. That said, you don't have to blow the bank either.
Costco doesn't always have the jack in stock but Arcan jacks usually last a long, long time.
I've got the big heavy expensive one from sears in the garage along with a couple of $20 walmart specials. Honestly I use the walmart specials 9 times out of 10 because they are so light and easy to grab.
With that in mind I'd look for something aluminum and light weight. 3ton is still going to be heavy but you can get [this one]
(https://www.amazon.com/Arcan-ALJ3T-Aluminum-Floor-Jack/dp/B0047D2FWM) that's about half the weight of a standard steel one like this one.
I would like to start changing the oil on my car (potentially on my parent's too) so does anyone have the link to that floor jack post from a couple days ago, if there was one? I have a 2000 Celica GTS, if you want to recommend anything here. I was thinking this with these jack stands, but that jack is expensive for me. I just don't want to have a car on my face.
Also, what are some other jack points/ jack stand positions other than the ones on the side of the car for the scissor jack?
