If you have only one jack but can get some sections of plank, you can change the oil. You can make ramps out of 2x12 plank to get the car up a little. Or just jack on wheel at a time and put 2 short sections of plank underneath. Do same for all 4 wheels. You need to get the car just high enough for your oil drain pan won’t be crushed when you lower the car. Then jack up one front side or the center enough for you to remove the two drain plugs. Lower back to level and let it drain. Then put the plugs back in and refill.
I did stuff like this years ago. I can also remember parking with one side on a curb so I needed to raise only one side. Eventually I got 4 jack stands, ramps, multiple jacks and then lifts. Had a lift for past 10 years.
Be smart. Don’t go under the car unless you are certain it is secure. If you have a couple of spare wheels, push them under. Or salvage some old timber if you can find it.
