How do you change the oil on Briggs Stratton 5 hp?

It is very simple... On the side cover, near the clutch, is a plastic cap. Remove that cap. This is the oil fill cap. You may need a small screwdriver for a lever. Then on the front of the engine is a square headed plug. If I remember correctly a 3/8" open end wrench will fit it. Remove this plug, be sure not to lose it. After the oil is finished draining, reinstall the plug and then fill with oil. Depending on the application it should have anywhere from 14oz to having the oil dribble out of the fill hole.
