An oil change is an oil change. The only things that are different vehicle to vehicle are the locations of the drain plug (always bottom of oil pan) filter, dipstick and fill cap (almost always on top of a valve cover). The amount of oil needed will be in your owners manual. The oil weight will be noted there and probably on the filler cap. Locate those four items before you start. 1. Run engine a few seconds to get any particles that may have sunk to the bottom of the oil pain into suspension. 2. Remove filler cap. Slide a catch container under the engine and remove the drain bolt. 3. When oil stops dripping replace drain bolt and tighten. 4. Move catch container under oil filter and remove filter. Depending on how it was installed during a previous oil change you may be able to remove the filter with just your hand or you may need an oil filter wrench. Turn 'left' to loosen. Turn the filter fairly slowly so you don't sling oil around. Pour contents of filter into your catch container. Place wadded up paper towel on top of filter and store in the new filter box. 5. Spread some oil on the new filter gasket and spin filter on. Follow instructions on box and don't tighten more than a third of a turn after gasket touches engine surface. Over tightening will just make getting the filter off more difficult in the future. 6. Carefully pull catch container out from under car and put a lid on it. Set aside for transportation to an auto supply store that recycles old oil. 7. Remove caps from fresh oil containers and (using a funnel) pour in the amount indicated in your owners manual. 8. Run engine 30 seconds to fill filter with oil. Wait a couple of minutes and check level on dipstick. If it's right at the 'full' mark you're done. If not, adjust accordingly. 9. Clean up spillage using spray engine cleaner (on the engine) or driveway cleaner (cement). 10. Take used oil to a recycling center. You're done. If any of the above is confusing, have a friend come over and lend you a hand. Once done you'll discover oil changing is very basic maintenance and you'll save money doing it yourself.
