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.

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.
