YOU MUST NOT CHANGE THE OIL WHILE THE ENGINE IS HOT. LET ENGINE COOL OR YOU MIGHT GET SEVERLY BURNED! First you find a container that will fit comfortably underneath the vehicle, and large enough to hold around 2-3 gallons. Cut a hole on one side large enough to catch oil as you're draining it from the engine. Get a crescent wrench and a funnel. Crawl underneath the vehicle with your container and wrench. Locate the oil pan. (This will be a smooth container directly underneath the motor with a single bolt at the lowest point of it.) Carefully place the container beneath the bolt and slowly remove the bolt. Either finish removing the bolt by hand after loosening (preferred) or let bolt fall into container and fish it out of the oil later. Keep in mind that you will get dirty so wear old clothes. Oil does stain. After oil has completely drained put the bolt back in fairly tight. Ask a local automotive store which oil is best for you. Pop the hood and remove the oil dipstick. It should have some marking indicating the correct fill level. Use the funnel and pore the oil slowly and carefully into the oil pan. Be careful not to overfill. And also be sure to wipe the dipstick with a papertowel or cloth before checking the oil level. This is for an accurate reading.
