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
Bro, you're so poor you can't even afford to pay somebody to change your oil, and have to do it yourself?

Anyway, like he said. Best is car level, and warm oil when draining. But personally, I just raise the rear to change it, and sometimes the oil is cold too. If you don't feel comfortable knowing that you didn't completely drain all the oil, then get the car level.
