Dmon,

An oil change isn't rocket science. It about the most basic maintanance procedure that can be done. The oil filter is simple too, open it first because the oil in the filter runs back to the crankcase and out with the oil there.

Just don't forget to replace the drain plug tightly, tighten the oil cooler nuts (don't remove them),replace the o-rings on the oil filter cover shaft and tighten the 2 nuts on the top of the oil filter.

Then start by adding 7 quarts of Mobil 1 Truck and SUV oil. Run the engine a minute and let the car sit an hour and check the dipstick. If the oil level is betweer the 2 marks on the dipstick, you have the correct amount of oil in the engine.
