Re: Properly jacking up the front
Welcome to AF. If you jack up from the side you are tilting the oil pan so a full drain will not happen. Jack it up fron the front under the front subframe crossmember. Jack stands and a floor jack are required here.

Re: Properly jacking up the front
For changing oil, I've found nothing easier than to buy a pair of ramps to drive the car onto, although I'm assuming you have a driveway to park the car on. I recommend Rhino ramps, which are made of plastic, so they are lightweight but are surprisingly strong.
