I always use two jack stands and my huge floor jack on the side I am working on, I pump up the jack handle until I see it making a slight change in the way the jack stand's look...that way if the stand failed the jack will catch it.....if it falls it will have to be the side I am not working on. Dont be afraid of doing an oil change. One thing I did and it may look kinda juvenile but when dong an oil change I drive the car until it is up to temp and then back the car on my ramps, that muffler is hot as a $5 pistol. I take a box fan and sit it by the muffler and run for 5 minutes and the muffler is cool to the touch..then dive under and let the oil out. If it your first change make sure you have a large enough pan, my first attempt was with one of those that captures the oil and the bottom and it could not handle the flow rate that was coming out of the oil pan....made a mess.
