Question:
if you would do a oil change on your car where would you place the jack?
where would you lift the car up on any lift especialy those V shaped lifts that are hydraulic?
Answer:
Always suspend the vehicle on the frame, look underneath the car and find the solid steel cross member usually in front or to the rear of the engine, you can also jack it up using the suspension arm as a support.
As jimmtmae says, sucked-in by the vacuum formed when the pistons travel down the cylinders with intake valve open/exhuast valve closed.unless forced-in by super or turbo charger which pressurizes the intake.
I would put a floor jack under the lower control arm of the front suspension,then place a jack stand under the frame at the manufacturer's recommended lift point. If using the supplied screw jack,I would lift at the lift point and place the jack stand under the suspension. If available the easiest way is to use ramps.
I would not jack up the car for oil change. Use ramp and choke the rear wheels. If I don't have a ramp, I would use screw jacks (jack + can be used as jack stand) and place it under the front wheel tire jacking position. When you use a floor jack, then you have to locate a frame that is strong enough to support the weight of the car and for some cars, this isn't straight forward.

It depends if you have a naturally aspirated engine or not. If it is N/A, then air is sucked in. In a supercharged or turbocharged engine air is force in
