Once under, locate the oil plug, the plug should be near the rear of the engine. Use the right size wrench and proceed to loosen the plug, turning in a counter clockwise direction. Loosen it until it is a couple threads from being out. Before taking out the plug position the oil pan so it is under the plug to catch the oil. Then remove the plug, oil will then pour out of the hole, and be sure that the oil pan is in position to catch the draining oil. Once the oil has drained out completely, locate the oil filter. The filter is usually not too far from the oil plug, but it isn’t on the same place in every car. Unscrew the oil filter with a wrench or your hand. If the filter is torque on too tightly it may be necessary to jam a screw driver through the side of it to use as a handle to get better leverage. Once the filter is unscrewed tip it upside down over the oil pan to drain the oil out. Now grab the new filter, and pour new oil into it. Slowly fill it up; they usually hold about half a quart. Keeping the filter top up put back where the old one came from, and put the oil plug back on. Now, you’re done under the car, so you can lower the car. First, jack the car up so it isn’t resting on the jack stands and take them out. Next, lower the jack slowly so no damage is done to the underside of the car.
