Where to jack car up and put stands (picture)
 

I am aware there are posts about this, i'm wanting to make sure i've got my spots right and used some pictures to help show where i'm planning to do the lifting and standing.
I'm used to working on my old truck that had a foot plus lift.

I've got a 2009 (series II)(34k miles), so I believe this image is an accurate portrayal of the underside of the car.
The red box is where the oil change maintenance will be happening.
The orange box is where the transmission fluid maintenance will happen.
I am curious if the catalytic converter is in the green area or purple area... though its probably somewhere between.

Where do I use the floor jack to lift this sucker up?
Once I have it up where do I put my jacks (4 of them)?
I have seen the other posts on lifting this one up and jacks and i'd honestly rather perfectly clarify this before I start crushing the underside of my car trying to lift it.

Square is where i'm thinking of using a low profile jack.
Circle is where i'm thinking of putting the stands.
Please let know if this looks good.
Honestly i'm finding a hard part to lift from direct front or direct back and the drivers side.

There are many threads with good pictures and insight into this.

I just used your picture, so excuse the tons of color in there and just pay attention to the red circles. The red circles are good places to jack up the car for the front and back. The back is on the differential fins, the front of this black nub you can see just in front of the oil pan protector. On the rear you can use a piece of wood if you are worried to protect it.

Same as above, this is the most recent thread regarding your question: Jacking Up R3.

Thank you for the help guys.
I read quite a few posts and i'm thinking I have the front two jack stand points correct. (pink and blue circles)
However I could not find someone using jack stands in the back.
They either used a ramp, crushed the siding of their car or made a custom wooden insert to fake the stock jack.
Any help on where to place jack stands on the back half of the car?

the spot where the suspension is bolted to the car (you can see the silver part of their bolt) looks like a good spot to me, but a little narrow.
I may just end up having the lift hold it for a while.

Oh that's what he meant. I thought he was talking about on the side where you use the stock jack to lift the vehicle (if you had a flat). Which is the one I thought everyone was crushing.
awesome! Thanks so much.

For reference, here are the jack stand positions that are outlined by Mazda for the Series II (S2). I took pictures of these points and a copy of the jack instructions on the Coleman jack (OEM) on my 2010 GT when I had to jack up the car in a small garage space to check out some under-carriage items.
