First, you'll want to lift the car high enough to give yourself room to work under it. Situate your oil receptacle five gallon bucket, oil drain pan, oil reservoir, or any other sizable liquid-holding container in such a way that the oil will drain into it without getting all over the ground or otherwise making a mess. Find the oil filter. It's the softball-sized cylindrical component screwed onto the engine. Once you have replaced the oil filter and drain plug, reinstall your undertray and lower the car back to the ground. Replace the drain plug and tighten it until it's snug, but not too much. And after waiting a few minutes for the oil to settle into the pan, use the dipstick to verify that your oil is at the proper level.
