In any case I still used a 2x4 when I did it too as I didn't want metal on metal in this case.
Leading evidence: 'Use 2x4' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use 2x4' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
I thought the recommendation was to jack up the car using the flat area close to the transmission, not the oil pan?

Suggestion
If you are putting a jack under the motor (oil pan) to support it use a piece of 2x12 on top of the jack to spread the load.
Use wood block, of course) since ultimately you're trying

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just wanted to share, I snapped a pic of the motor mounts side by side to see the difference. Not sure how long the old ones have been on the car for, this is at 80k miles
I did my spark plugs and AOS at the same time so there was plenty of extra work but as far as the mounts go yes they are very easy...I didnt even spray my bolts down they came off with no problem.
Put a jack under the motor to hold it in place, undo the bottom bolt from each mount and then the two from the top and they come out with no issues. Intake and rear bumper need to be removed also
I'm waiting for mine from Rennline to ship. Apparently there was a 2 week backorder when I ordered them. I did get 10% off from Pelican which was cool....
A little cheaper ($350 for pair) and I liked the adjustability. They come with street, sport and race bushings. I'm starting with the race ones and then will back off if the vibration is too much.

I think you need to support at the oil pan (using wood block, of course) since ultimately you're trying to support the engine itself while you undo the motor mounts. I don't believe you get any engine support when you jack at the cross-member.
Those Rennline mounts are rather pretty looking. After having the car for a week, definitely noticing a fair bit of drivetrain slop. I suspect that's a combination of 13 year old rubber and my other car having all upgraded drivetrain bushings and mounts.
I was afraid of damaging the oil pan so I threw my jack along with a block of wood right underneath the part of the block just behind the all pan towards the rear of the car. Its literally the same height and had no problems
