The oem scissor jack isn't generally meant for use in car maintenance. It really is there to (in a pinch) let you change a flat tire. The biggest drawback being that it uses the oem jack point, is harder to use, and can only lift one corner of your car at a time. Whereas a hydraulic jack can lift one axle (front or back) at once. I have this $99 jack from Costco and its been great for 10 years. My only complaint is that it can be tricky to lower. Mine sometimes is either fully closed or fully open which sometimes has the car being lowered rather faster than I would like.
