You may wish to remove the splashguard on the left-hand side (looking from the front) for easier access, if it's stuck, just jam a screwdiver through it - it's messy but it works!

Everyone's gotta start somewhere, I'm sure there was a time eveyone here didn't know how to do a proper oil change.

no offense meant, but ya i didnt start out mechanic but i watched my uncle doing it and i learned, if youre not sure u can do it, get someone else do it and u watch and learn, making sure you dont screw up your first time, like stripping oil pan plug, or not tightening oil filter, and that does happen, then you wonder where your oil goes, and if you dont check your engine often and it all leaks out, next thing you know you gotta take it to shop since engine seized up on u.
