Default jacking jack stands frame advice

Just curious as to what I can or cannot do...

I created a picture in paint below. Is that OK to do? And will jacking up 1 side/jackspot of a car bend anything? Meaning is it ok to do?

The two rails going down the car you pointed out will buckle (cave in some) if you try to jack from there. I would say use the correct jacking points, you have pointed them out with the two green marks.

anywhere under the rear or front bumper? My teg had some spots you could jack from incase you needed to put a stand on the jacking point.

I believe that there is a front and rear jacking point as well if you want to raise the front/rear instead of left/right. Rear is the diff I'm pretty sure, not sure about the front.

There is a center front jacking pt just in front of the engine. (look in your owner's manual for the exact location). The rear diff is the center rear jacking pt.

Yes, you can jack up one side at a time. I do it all the time. We have a very stiff chassis.

i did't jack at the blue spot. i put jackstands there. i only did it once though... what is that blue spot? looks like part of the frame to me... look at the picture below. it's labeled frame on hondaautomotiveparts.com... unless circled the wrong picture.

Yes, the green things are jack points.

Yes, you can jack the car up on only one of them if you like.

Yes, you can put jackstands under those frame beams (in blue).

Yes, you can jack the car from the rear diff.

Yes, you can jack the car from the front central jack point in the front subframe under the engine, but most floor jacks can't actually get to it unless you also jack from the side or you run the car up on ramps.

In the front side, jack the rear green. The front green has some spot welds that will bend.
