Jack Adapters
Is anyone using these? These are listed on E Bay as being S560 compatable. Also, does anyone have a diagram for the proper jacking points on a 2020 S560?

Those things look like a good way to get hurt. One might be ok, but I would not put the car on four of those. Thats just me.
Personally I used the solid metal ones. They don't damage the car and they won't deform. The rubber ones just look like the might tear at some point.
I don't use jackstands though, I have a lift.
If you crawl under the car you will see four slots where you can put in adapters. Not sure about any other jacking spots except those four slots

Barry are you still wrestling with your own junk?
If you have space for it have a two post above ground electric hoist installed. Get an 'Asymmetric' hoist that will have shorter arms in front so a door can be opened with the car on the hoist.
Your back will thank you every time you use it and done right your chances of a car falling on you drop exponentially.

I have a Quickjack. Its good, but you are doing a lot of crawling on the ground and they are super heavy to move around. Better than jackstands though. Definitely more solid and they add more height.
If you want to go one step up and you have the concrete thickness then MaxJax look good. Again you get a bit more height from the Quickjack.
After that you can do the regular two post lifts, but for that you would need probably 12 ft ceilings and thick concrete.
The problem with jackstands on these cars is that they need to be at the same spot you can lift with a jack, so its really not ideal.
You can probably lift the car on other places but you can also break something expensive.

I’m curious about the pucks because I occasionally have the idea that I can still take off the wheels to clean the inside barrel and change my own oil, etc. After thinking about it a bit and the hell raising my kids raise when they find out I’m doing this stuff in my eighth decade, I’ll probably sit this one out.
