2008 H6 Outback front jack point?

Is there an accessible front center jack point given that I've got a lower engine bay cover?

Pretty sure I can't use the front skid plate as it's covered up... And it's a PITA to remove that cover until the car is jacked

Thanks!

2008 H6 front jack point?

Is there a center jack point at the front that I can access with a hydraulic floor jack?

Since my car has the lower engine bay cover, the typical skid plate jackpoint isn't accessible.

AI told me that there is a front cross member just behind the rad but I think that's BS LMAO

Hoping there's somewhere I can jack up the front of the car, slide to jack stands under the pinch welds, and then remove the engine cover and get to work. (I. E. Don't have to remove the engine cover to expose the front cradle / skid plate...)

Power steering fluid service?

How often do people do this?

My 2008 H6 outback is at 180k miles. I'm planning to just do a few turkey baster exchanges out of the reservoir on my next few oil changes.

Nothing has been done to the power steering since warrant ended, and I'm guessing nothing happened during warranty either (previous owner had it then).

Appreciate any thoughts / tips.

Local dealer doesn't do vacuum flushes so that's not even an option if I wanted to consider it.
