Hi,

On these vehicles (not in a manual) I use a floor jack with a 2x6 between the jack and engine oil pan to support the engine. Only use it to support the weight of the engine or slightly remove weight from the mounts.

I attached the manual directions below for you.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
