Simple. Jack the car up. Put Jack stands under the car. CHOCK the Wheels so the car can not roll. Place Bucket under Oil Drain Plug. Use A Proper size wrench to remove plug. Drain the oil.

When the oil is out of the car replace the Oil Plug and tighten.
Find the Oil Filter. Place the Drain pan (bucket) under filter and remove. install new filter by tightening the filter untill it is snug and then turn an additional 1/2 turn. Fill the engine with the reccomended
oil from the manufactures book. run the car for a little while. then check for leaks. Take car off of the stands, remove the chocks and enjoy the rest of your day.

OR...
Go To Wal-Mart and spend about $15.00 to $20.00 and have them do it in about a halfan hour.

You will save at the very most $5.00 doing it yourself. I have found it is easier and just as cheap to have them do it for me

Of course. If you are planning on taking car of your car youself, buy a chiltons or haynes manual. They tell you everything you need to know about repairing your car, including upkeep, fluid changes, etc.
