Of course you can change it yourself and you don't need to bother buying anything special to draw it from the dipstick hole, just drain it from the bottom.

You will need a drain pan, an 8MM socket and 1/4" ratchet and short extension to pull the hush panel, a drain pan and a way to remove the filter from the top. You can go to the dealer and get a special socket for the oil filter for less than $10.

Remove the hush panel from the bottom. There are six screws. Just put on your old clothes and roll over on your side and reach under for the bolts and drop down the panel. Put your drain pan underneath and pull the plug. Remove the filter from the top, front, passenger side of the engine. Pull the filter off the stem and put on your new one, then put the stem and filter back in place. After the oil has drained thoroughly, replace the drain plug making sure that the copper washer is in place. Fill with fresh oil and you're done.

Good luck,
