Drive up on ramps a bit before jacking.

If you don't have ramps, drive up on a 2x10 then you could probably get the jack under.

Have you lowered your suspension?
I don't have any problems getting a jack under mine. The 2x10 suggestion is sound. |

Any scrap lumber you have laying around (check your neighbor's yards, if necessary) is good to use as a temporary ramp to get the car higher. Just pile it up and drive up on it. Sort of.

Get a block of wood and jack it here on the side opposite the plug, get it up high enough to get under to replace the filter. Put a JACK STAND under the sub frame and take some weight off the jack.
I use homemade ramps myself, they work great.
