A friend of my refers to that outfit as Harbor Fright. We have screwed ourselves (and are now literally getting killed) by buying Chinajunk….whether it's from a failed jackstand or Wuhan flu.

I have a quart of the 50wt Valvoline racing oil left over from 2002. It contains friction modifiers and ZDDP......Current 50 wt. Valvoline might be a different formula without the ZDDP.

I would not place the jack under the center of the door......2x4 or not. A 2x4 laying flat would not spread the load much. I would only jack in the factory recommended jacking points.
