Is there a simple way to get a 914 jacked up enough to change oil Options

I can't even find a shop willing to change my oil so I am going to have to crawl around on the floor for a while. I have all the parts and a creeper but get confused on where you can put a floor jack and where you should put a jack stand as seems like same point is best for both the jack and the stands.
I have located the 4 donuts at the corners of the cab/chasis juncture, they seem ok. I am tempted to just get two floor jacks and jack up the rear at the donuts and call it a day. Is it dangerous to use jacks for support rather than putting a jack stand under there somewhere?
Ramps won't work as exhaust tip hits the ramp.
How do most of you solve this issue?

Quote from Jack Standz - "Those "donuts" are not designed to jack up your 914. They will bend/deform."

Then what pray, are they for? Almost every car I've ever owned has had similar donuts or sometimes squares for use as jacking points. I've been jacking 914s for decades using those donuts with never a problem. When I go to a garage (which is rarely) they lift the car using those donuts. A rust bucket of course is another story. Porsche must have had a reason to put them there.

Not the first time this has been discussed:

Now, if you had some kind of a jig to raise the car by all 4 "donuts" at the same time like the factory assembly line, maybe it's OK. But, if you jack the car up by just one, they can and do bend. With enough experience with 914s, you must have seen it before, right?

Either way, using the jacking point with a jack or a jacking plate is how Porsche envisioned owners to jack up their 914s.
