Default RE: help

Its no big deal, use a T25 torx bit and take off the belly pan. There will be a 19mm nut on the bottom of the oil pan to drain the oil (get the washer too) and the oil filter will be on the side of the engine by the radiator. Just reach up and twist it off, there is gonna be a lot of oil spilling on some rubber lines so swab it off with some shop rags.
