Lift the vehicle on a shop lift (or on jack stands, if necessary) and locate the oil pan. Remove the drain plug to let the used oil flow out into a container for proper disposal according to local regulations. Unscrew the oil filter and replace it with a new one, making sure to change the gasket as well.

Finally, top off with new engine oil. If desired, you can perform a complete service by also carrying out the other inspection tasks shown in the video.
