Wrld,
It doesn't get any easier. But a couple of things:
1. Cover the motor mount with a plastic bag to keep oil off the mount.
2. You have to turn the filter counter clockwise (towards the dash) and if you can't turn it, you may have to get a filter wrench, but I have never had to use one. Just use your bear hand (watch out if the engine is still warm, the exhaust manifold is extremely hot)and turn as hard as you can.
4. Once you break it loose, hold it up right so you don't dump all the oil everywhere, while you squeeze it between the alternator and the exhaust manifold. Again, watch out for hot oil. Put a big piece of cardboard under the car for spills.
5.Thread on the new filter.
6. Drain the oil into something you can also take it the local jiffy lube or autozone or a recycle center.
7.PUT THE DRAIN PLUG BACK IN.
8. Pour four quarts into the filler hole.
9. Run it for a few minuates.
10. check the dipstick.
11. Your done.
