lifting a V70 level
Hi folks, would it be safe to lift a v70 by putting it up on ramps and then jacking and putting it on axle stands at the back, the idea is to have it level for the next flush and level check?

Get your (suitable) axle stands under the four lifting post points (behind front wheels, in front of rear wheels) Use wooden blocks to get level.

For transmission level check, the car must be on level surface. The simpler way is to measure what comes out and refill the same (always through the dipstick hole) . Here's the lifting and jack stand points I use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gtY-IZQgfw

2T is more than enough to get under the car - don't even need to extend them much, perhaps only 3-4 'clicks'. I recommend inspecting the welds on them if it's not a known brands - many inexpensive ones have poor welds.

I think I'd go ramps at the back and stands at the front so I'd have a working hand brake to prevent any possibility of the car rolling.
