Begin by placing a jack under the lifting point. It is on the driver's side of the car, below the rocker panel and just behind the front wheel.
-
Lift the car with the jack until you can work underneath it.
-
Slide a jack stand under the car, just behind the jack.
-
Slowly lower the jack until the jack stand is supporting the car. Remove the jack.
-
-
-
Locate the 17mm hex oil drain plug. It is on the driver's side of the car and facing backwards.
-
Use a 17 mm socket wrench or box end wrench to turn the oil drain plug counter-clockwise until it is loose enough to turn by hand.
-
Place the oil drain pan underneath the oil drain plug.
-
-
-
Locate the oil filter. It is on the driver's side of the car, on the back side of the engine and above the oil drain plug.
-
Reposition the oil drain pan so that it catches the oil that will spill when you remove the oil filter.
-
Turn the oil filter counter-clockwise by hand until it comes off the engine's oil filter threads.
-
Lower the oil filter with its threaded end up to reduce spills, then place it with the threaded end facing down in the oil drain pan.
-
-
-
Use the jack to lift the car off of the jack stand.
-
Remove the jack stand from under the car.
-
Slowly lower the jack until it is no longer supporting the car and remove it from under the car.
-
-
-
Locate the hood release lever. It is below the left side of the driver's console, by the door frame.
-
Pull the hood release lever until you hear the hood click.
-
Go to the front of the car and locate the hood release latch. It is under the hood and along the center line of the car.
-
Lift up on the hood release latch and lift the hood open.
-
Place the end of the hood prop rod into the hole on the driver's side of the hood marked by an arrow.
-
-
-
Pour 4 quarts of 10W-30 oil* into the engine. Use one hand to stabilize the funnel to help prevent spills.
-
* (Check your owner's manual for correct amount and grade of oil. My 1991 Honda Civic takes 3.2 Qt of 5W-30.)
-
Remove the funnel and place the oil filler cap over the oil filler hole.
-
Turn the oil filler cap clockwise until it is snug.
-
-
-
Locate and remove the oil dipstick. It is in front of the valve cover, sticking out of the exhaust manifold's heat shield.
-
Wipe off the oil dipstick, reinsert it into its hole and remove it again.
-
Check the oil level on the end of the dipstick. It should be between the two holes or slightly above the top one.
-
Add oil if the oil level is below the bottom hole of the dipstick. Place the oil dipstick all the way back in its hole.
-
-
-
Support the hood with one hand and use your other hand to place the hood prop rod back into its holder.
-
Gently lower the hood until it clicks into the secondary latch.
-
Press firmly on the edge of the hood until you hear the primary latch engage.
-
-
-
Start the car and look for leaks under the car. If there are leaks, shut the car off and determine if the drain plug or filter need to be tightened, or if a part has been damaged.
-
After running the engine for a few minutes, let it cool down for at least an hour and re-check the oil level. If the oil level is more than a 1/2" above the top hole of the dipstick you will need to drain oil. If the oil level is below the bottom hole of the dipstick you will need to add oil.
-
Allow 12-24 hours for all the oil to drain out of your old oil filter.
-
Take your old oil and filter to a recycling facility. Most auto parts stores and repair shops accept these at no charge. In addition, some cities and/or counties have a service where they will collect used oil and filters from your home. For more information, see the American Petroleum Institute's web page on used motor oil collection and recycling.

Don't forget to push in the anti drainback valve from the holes on the outer perimeter because there will still be oil trapped in there. Use a toothpick or something to open up each hole while holding the filter upside down to get more oil out of the filter.
Sometimes the oil drain plug is 19mm like mine so be sure to check that because you don't want to not have the right size wrench or ratchet socket
That was a pretty darn specific description of how to change oil but if you need a diagram like that to change your oil get the !&&* out from under the hood you shouldn't be there LOL
That was a very step by step presentation on how to change your oil but if you need a presentation like that to change your oil get it the !&&* out from underneath the hood you shouldn't be there
Nothing wrong with extra description ; you never know, someone might know the process generally but the specific detail in a certain step might teach them something they didn’t know before.
