Let's Start Simple:

Okay, the easiest way for you to save yourself money is to do your own oil changes. You only need a small assortment of tools to complete this job:

~2 1/2 ton jack
~2 jackstands
~basic metric socket set
~drain pan
~empty 5-quart jug to put waste oil in

There's a chance you might get dirty on this job so its best to wear clothes that you wouldn't mind getting oil stains on.  Now you are ready to start!

1. Apply the parking brake
2. Place jack just underneath the front of the frame, just behind the sway bar (picture 1)
3. Lift vehicle high enough to place the jackstand underneath it.
4. Repeat 2 and 3 on the opposite side of the car
5. Position drain pan and use a 14mm socket to remove the drain plug (picture 2)
6. After oil is finished draining reposition drain pan underneath the oil filter (on the front of the engine block)
7. Unscrew and replace the filter
8. Remove jackstands.
9. Refill the car with oil. **START WITH 4 (FOUR) QUARTS!!**
10. Start vehicle and allow to idle for approx. 30 seconds
11. Shut the vehicle off and check oil level. Add if necessary.

You now know how to change your own oil. See? Not as hard as you thought right?
