Default Differential

Hey guys I know there are DIY's on differential oil changes but I havent seen any that answer my questions and xvipers diy is blocked for some reason. Anyways my question is, do you need to put the car on 4 jackstands so its leveled to change the oil? Or can I just use a 1 floor jack to change the oil? Let me know

-THANKS

Two tips:

1. Remember the correct jacking points (safety first)

2. Get a quality oil fill pump. I am not sure if i got a cheap one or if it was broken but I ended up getting oil everywhere.
