My friend if you can't find the drain plug which is located on the oil pan, you have no business going any farther. Pay someone to change your oil. But I will give you instructions if you wish to proceed. Park the car on solid level ground, and start the engine. Let it run for at least 5 minutes if the engine was cold. Shut it off, and jack up the front of the car, and place jack stands on each side. Now crawl under the car and find the drain plug located on the oil pan, located on the bottom of the engine. Remove it and drain all the oil out. Use a socket or boxed end wrench. Do not use an open end wrench or adjustable wrench. The bolt turns counterclockwise to loosen, same with the filter. While under there find the filter and remove making sure the gasket of the old filter also comes off of. Wipe the filter mounting base clean and the apply oil to the gasket of the new filter. Install the new filter and tighten 3/4 turn after it makes contact with the mounting surface. WARNING: Tighten 3/4 turn, no more no less. It may not appear to be tight enough but it is, as it will get tighter once it gets hot. Replace the drain plug after all the oil is removed, (wipe the area clean before installing), and tighten to 20 lb/ft of torque or if you have no torque wrench tighten with a very short wrench until it is snug. Do not over-tighten and be careful and not cross thread the bolt. Remove jack stands and lower the car. Pour in the correct amount and weight of oil, 4.5 quarts of 5W30. Double check the amount and weight in your owner's manual. Replace the oil cap and start the engine, and let it run for 2 minutes, while checking for leaks at the filter and drain plug. If no leaks you have changed your oil and are good to go. If you follow these directions to the letter you will have no leaks. Be sure and take the old oil to a recycle center. Most Auto parts stores and Walmart will take it.
