99 protege jack point?

I already did a search, but all of the results for for p5's...

First, which hydraulic jack / jack stands should I buy? How much will it cost? I will just be using this to rotate wheels and change oil.

Is it worth it to spring for jack stands or should I go for rhino ramps?

Next, what are the jack points? I think that the stock jack point is the sill type thing right under the car? Am I right? Can you also put a jackstand here or not? Also, where would I jack the car up?

Thanks for any help.

I just got done rotating my tires. It was a pain. Once you get the tires off you see how dirty they are and say well I might as well clean them. Then you have to wax them and it ended up taking me 2 hours.

Anyway the jack that came with car shows you the jack points in a little picture. I just used a floor jack and put it on the plates with a hole in the middle because this is where they are on a friends car. It wasn't untill I got out the stock jack that I realized they weren't for that.
