Hi,
From the bottom (as mentioned). you need a 74mm, 14 flute wrench to remove the Oil Filter Cartridge and properly re-torque it (can't do that with a Strap Wrench). See it here:

You also need an 8mm Allen bit for the Drain Plug -

In addition, you need a new Crush Washer for the Drain Plug - $0.50 (Pelican Parts), and an Oil Filter cartridge and 'O' Ring (included) - $11.50 (Pelican Parts), then a collection pan with 10+ Qt. capacity and of course the Oil. Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
