Get the car on some ramps, remove the under tray and locate the sump plug, it's a 13mm nut in the sump. Remove this and let all of the oil drain into a bucket or other container (dispose of this correctly), refit the sump plug with a new washer and tighten up. Remove the oil filter head using a 32mm spanner/socket wrench, remove the paper element and replace, refit the cover after cleaning all the contact surfaces. Fill the engine with oil slowly (they take 4.3l for a TID), start the engine check for leaks then switch off, allow a few minutes for the oil to return to the sump and check the level - top up as required. DO NOT OVERFILL! Too much engine oil is just as bad as not enough.
