WHOA COWBOYS AND GIRLS!!! CHECK VERY CAREFULLY ALL PIN CONNECTORS AT ECM POWER PLUG FOR PROPER CONNECTIONS, BENT PINS ETC.... ECM'S DO NOT FAIL TOO OFTEN!
if you have access to a car ramp the oil plug is located on edge of the oil pan and while under your car you will see the oil filter it all depends on what kind of oil you want sometimes it boils down to budget but remember you get what you pay for
same as any car.. climb underneath.. you'll see a pan with a bolt either on the side or the corner, unskrew that and the oil drains, then you unscrew the oil filter( cylindrical) it will be either right behind the oil pan(thing thats draining oil or on the side of your block) dip your finger in oil and coat gasket around new oil filter, screw it in where the old filter was ****DONT FORGET TO PUT THE DRAINAGE PLUG(the bolt you unscrewed) BACK IN**** then add 5 quarts drive!!
if you've never done this before, i wouldn't experiment...instead, find a friendly mechanic that will do the job and allow you to look on as he completes the work :o) P.S. ALWAYS take your own WALMART oil filter and use MOBIL ONE, I think your car is 5W20 and takes 4 qts. Then only change the filter every 5k-(when you rotate the tires) and at 15k do a complete drain and filter! Good Luck
It is probably a bit different on the 4-cyl engines than the V6 engines. I'll assume you have the V6 for the moment since those seemed to be more popular.
On the 3.5L V6, the drain plug is behind the passenger side wheel well and I believe takes a 17mm socket/wrench to remove.
