Where can I can put the jack-stand in front side?
I have checked some of previous postings, but still I need more information.
Once I have lifted my s4 using floor-jack and looked around the underneath, but hard to figure out where I should put the jack stands. I'm just trying to do oil-change for the first time. Thanks in advance.

You are going about making a simple task a complicated process. Many of us use the Pela Pro oil extractor. All you need to do is pull out the dipstick, insert the hose, pump the handle about 30 times, leave it for 15 minutes and all the oil is sucked out. Go to www.yachsee.com to see what this simple devise looks like. $89 is all it costs.
But if you prefer, jack up the car, crawl on the ground, remove the plastic wind deflector, unscrew the drain plug, get your hands dirty as you balance between pulling the plug out and getting the drip pan in place ...........

I'd suggest ramps instead
Rhino ramps are much easier than jacking the car up, if you don't need to take the wheels off.
As for the oil sucker thingeys -- some of them have a tendency to drop parts inside the oil pan. I'd stay away for that reason.

Re: Droping things in the oil pan using suction device
I'm unaware of how anyone could possibly drop a 5 foot polyethylene tube thru their dip stick tube and loose it in the oil pan.
This is the only part of the suction device that touches the oil, and the poly tube is almost the same diameter as the dip stick tube.
