Now that you have the car safely supported with Jack stands on both sides of the frame you can now proceed to loosen the oil drain pan plug with your wrench or socket. Make sure you have a large pan underneath the oil pan to catch the oil as it comes out of the oil pan once you take the plug out. Let all the oil drain out of the pan till no more oil comes out the drain hole, once this is done you can screw back in the oil drain pan plug and tighten it with your wrench.
After all the old oil has been drained out of the car and oil plug has been reinstalled and is tightly secure you can now proceed to the next up. You need to locate the oil filter underneath the car and you need to loosen the oil filter with a special wrench and take the old oil filter off. Make sure you have a large pan underneath oil filter to catch any old oil that may spill out. Now that you have the old filter off you can now take your new filter and screw it in were the old filter was. Always check for leaks after you install the new oil filter onto the car.

Once this is done you can safely lower the vehicle off of the jack stands back to its original position. You will need to loosen the oil filler cap on the engine so you can put new oil into the vehicle. Using a funnel you can now pour the correct amount of oil needed to fill it up to the correct level, this information should be available in the owners manual for the vehicle.
