Jack point for floor jack

I was trying to do my first oil change with the floor jack and 2 support stands. I couldn't find in the manual where it mentions the jack points are for floor jacks. I picked a rigid point to my best guess but not sure if it's the proper place. I don't see any obvious locations for it so if anyone has an idea please share or post a picture would be great.
Thanks

there are two notches on the front and two notches on the back on each side where the emergency jack can go...just jack from there and you'll be fine

I purchased a 2010G37xS and had the same issue. I have a floor jack with a removable pad/dish but it is too big to use on the pinch weld jack points without damaging the rocker. I purchased this which works perfect Floor Jack Saddle - Rocker Panel Pinch Weld Adapter New : eBay Motors (item 250588286969 end time May-28-10 13

Underneath the front, in-between the wheels and just behind the plastic underbody shield covering the oil pan is a dimple. You can jack from there. I have a pic of it here:
g Gallery | ArcanJack | 20090821-DSC_0009-7 (this is looking at the jack from the driver side, looking forward -- the dimple is right above the jack plate).

For the rears, you can jack with the rear differential.
