To change the oil filter first drain the old oil. Then use an oil filter wrench, preferably the cup type you put on a ratchet, and unscrew the filter. The filter is located right next to the oil pan, it's pretty obvious what it is. Then take the new filter, rub some oil on the gasket, and hand tighten it. DO NOT tighten with wrench, only hand tighten it! Then fill the car with new oil. All done.
