Is that just with the standard Honda jack? I didn't really fancy getting under it with just that holding it up. Looks a bit flimsy for my liking.

I got some CV Lith-moly grease for constant velocity joints. Good for 120

You shouldn't get under the car on just a jack - use some axle stands to support it too. If the jack fails you are fecked.
