Jacking Points on C5

[Rufus1050]

I'm brand new to this forum and the C5's. After enjoying my 85 C4 for the past 3 years and performing much of the work on it myself, I find the C5 a trifle intimidating. So much to learn and no manual yet...can these cars be jacked up and if so would someone please tell me where the jacking points are located? I wanted to change the oil and check/service the auto transmission.
My first impression is that these vettes are not that home mechanic friendly! I hope that these basic maintenance chores can be accomplished...your assistance will be appreciated. Thank you...

HI there,
You can reference the diagram below for jacking points.
Be cautious on the door sill areas, because of the fiberglass overhanging.
Otherwise, transmission fluid is checked between 80-122 degree F on your DIC.
Remove the 22mm plug and you should see a drip out.
Flushing with a filter change is usually the BEST way to service your automatic transmissions.
Allthebest,

i never thought it was a good idea to use just one of the 4 side jacking spots a point to lift a corvette as you are stressing the frame in a direction it was not designed to be strained. i think those points should only be used with a lift that contacts all 4 points at the same time. i know older corvettes if jacked that way would cause the door gap in the in the rear to widen. JMHO
