Run your car up on ramps. Make sure you have a catch can to catch the oil. About 4 feet back from the front, you will find a large, black, flat area, with a bolt at the end of it. Slowly unloosen the bolt (lefty loosey)--be ready to catch the oil. Leave it for awhile to fully drain. Clean bolt, wipe off the opening, put bolt back in and tighten. Take the oil filter out slowly as well. Don't turn it over until you get it down, then dump it in the catch can. Wipe the opening where the filter was. Wipe a small amount of new oil around the gasket on the new filter, screw it in, once it's tight--just another quarter turn. Fill oil. Start car. Check oil level with dipstick.
