This video shows you how to replace the engine oil and filter in your car. First, locate the drain plug on the oil pan to let the oil out. Once found, place a pan underneath to catch the used oil. As soon as you start to turn the plug, the oil will begin to flow out, so do this quickly to avoid spills.

After removing all the engine oil, unscrew and remove the oil filter located just behind the pan. Finally, after removing the filter, replace the internal cartridge and the sealing gasket before reassembling everything.
