Let's assume he isn't. Everyone has to start somewhere.

DIY thread theres a picture forum.

Otherwise

- Plug is on the bottom of the oilpan, rear side of it. Its a 17mm (or at least mine is). Unscrew it out, make sure you have an oil or catch pan of some sort underneath.

Oil filter is in same area, but up more. Look up past the drivers side axle, should be about 6-8 inches above it, on the back of the block, can be a bitch to reach at, also it can be a bitch to get out if it was put in professionally, and you dont have the tool for loosening it. Personally i go as tight with it as i can by hand and i have never ever had a problem with that, ever.
Careful with this too, its like a cup of hot oil (if car is still warm) so hold it upright as you bring it down, cause it does spill more oil out.

After all that, reverse the steps, Put new Filter on, hand tighten it as tight as you can get it, which is perfectly fine if you dont have the tool to fasten it down, its a long thread, it stays on just fine. Then make sure your drain plug is fastened tightly back in the oil pan, but dont go too tight, you'll risk stripping out the thread.

Add 4qts of yoir choice oil, id go with Mobile1 synth. And your done.

 

Make sure before you install the new filter put a little oil on the rubber seal it helps them being damaged when you tighten the filter. Also make sure the old rubber seal came off with the old filter if it is stuck to the block you will get an oil leak.

 

thanks

 

and no, i wasnt kidding

 

Good luck. Working on your car is a lot of fun.

for a while then you realize how bad they suck. just take your time and double check all your work. the best way to learn is to tear into it. hands on books dont educate like hands on.

My ***. "You don't need a guide to do your first k20 swap, just get in there."

 

haha that's great. Just read around on the site. You will pick things up little by little. Don't try things that you know will be too hard for you from the start. Take it all one step at a time, and have the manual and this site to help. It will get very fun for you!

Good Luck

Don't be an *******. Everyone has to start somewhere. Were you born with the ability and knowledge to change your own oil and perform other maintenance?

 

make sure u drain the oil before u take off the oil filter and don't put to much oil in 4.5 quarts is all you need

 

Good luck to you and all the work you have ahead of you. There are not many things more satisfying then working on your car and everything working out when you are done.

 

Yeah, everyone has to start somewhere

Be careful on the way you dispose of that oil though

Good point, make sure you take it to a parts store. Most of them dispose of oil in a more environment friendly manner.

 

Doing an oil change yourself is easy but rememeber to double check the plug and filter several times before you start it up. Also be sure the old filter gasket hasnt adhered to the filter plate because if it has your in for a surprise. Just check the old filter to be sure its still there!

GL!
