To begin, you'll need to assemble all of the necessary tools and equipment.
You'll want to have a pan to collect the oil, a ratchet, protective gloves, a funnel, the new oil, and an oil filter on hand before you get started. Paper towels will be useful to help clean up when you're done.
To get started, locate the oil fill area and the oil drain point. You also need to find the oil filter. The next step is to remove the oil fill plug to allow air to enter.
