Anyone want a D.I.Y. for oil & oil filter kit change?
 
Just as the title says,this weekend I will be changing the oil,filter,o ring,drain plug and drain plug ring. Anyone want pics for future reference?

Yes, I'd like to see that. I'm in need of an oil change and would like to know what I'm in for...

Yes, I would like that. I'll probably need an oil change in the next two months.

I've been wanting to do this, jacked up the car and couldn't get the drain plug off using a 8mm hex key, felt like the plug was stuck and wouldn't budge. I didn't want to strip anything so I lowered the car and walked away humiliated. It would be nice to see another oil change DIY with nicer pics.

Yes, pretty please! So I know what tools/parts do I need to buy so I could do it on my own too and in return, on my next trip to Sac. town, I'll give you the recipe of my kick a@# homemade "herb free" brownies :D j/k

Yes, that would be great.

Alikhan78....you don't use a 8 mm hex key for the drain plug...
 
use 8 mm hex with socket (you can buy at autozone or anywhere) and a long extender and socket wrench....a lot more torque and drain bolt will come off very easily.
