First get under the car\truck and look for the oil container. Second take of the little bolt from the container and let the oil drain. Place the new oil in the car and change the oil filter which is also up under the car. If you bring the old 1 into auto zone they will know which one to give u. Sorry I could not be more precise

Answer 3

It's pretty easy, but a little messy.

1) Buy a oil pan, new oil, funnel.
2) Place the oil pan underneath the oil drain screw bolt. It's at the
bottom of the car's engine.
3) Wear gloves. Unscrew the bolt.Don't lose the bolt nor the washer.
4) When you unscrew it, the old oil will start pouring out into the pan.
5) Wait till the all of the old oil drips out.
6) Re-screw the bolt until tight. Remember to use the washer.
7) Put the funnel into the oil intake.
8) Pour the new oil into funnel. Your car's user manual will say how much oil your car needs. Your oil change is finished.
9) Pour old oil into a container.
10) Most locales consider old oil to be a hazardous waste. Depose of it properly. Some gas stations will take it for a fee.

Answer 5

On what exactly??

If its a car you need to buy a new oil filter and oil.
You will also need tools like ring spanners and a drain tray.

There is a bolt on the bottom of the motor you need to unscrew and drain the oil out of. Change the oil filter with the new one. Put the bolt back in and pour the oil through the top engine oil hole.
