My understanding is the the car should be level to properly drain all the oil. A full change is ~9.5 quarts

Best to get 4 jack stands. I do the front of the car by putting the jack at the rear jack point, it will raise the entire side. I do one side and then the other. Then for the back i use a the rear jack point at shown in the Pelican DIY and it will raise the entire back so you can slide in jack stand for both sides

Note that the car should be warmed up and the oil will be hot when draining. You should let it drain for at least 30 minutes
