Default Tutorial on changing oil

I know I have seen a tutorial of how to change the oil on this forum, but I can't seem to find it. Anyone have the link or the info? Thanks.

I went through this and the hardest thing for me was to detach the oil filter from the screw on oil filter cover. I will deal with it next time around in 5k miles.

The under body cover is a bit of a pain in the but with like 20 something 1/4 turn plastic retainers plus a couple in the fender well.

Do me a favor and wear eye protection as I had a a bunch of dirt fall into my face as I was removing the underbelly cover.

Cheers

Nick

Also, buy some extra clips/screws for the underbody panels. You may be surprised how many are missing after your latest trip to the dealer. Somehow they either lose them or just don't bother putting them all back...

Next time take a long extension and press it down the middle of the filter to push the cover off. It's really easy. You'll never get it off by trying to pull it off the filter.
