The Internet should be full of them...

Basically...

Make sure engine is hot, then switch off and wait 5 minutes.

Jack car up and support SAFELY - using axle stands or ramp.

Remove under-engine tray if present.

Remove old oil filter. replace with new. If tightening using tool, always use torque wrench and tighten to specified torque..

Undo oil plug with suitable perfectly matching high-quality tool - you don't want to round it up.

Allow old oil to drain into container.

Wait 10 minutes (at least).

Replace oil drain plug, using new washer.

Tighten to toque USING TORQUE WRENCH.

Fill up with new oil. Allow some time for oil to settle and top up again monitoring the oil level dipstick. Do not overfill. The level is 3.5L on Min, 5.5L on Max, so adding 4L for starters will be good.

Start engine, allow to warm up, switch off.

Wait 5 minutes, check level again, and correct if necessary.

Check under cars for leaks.

Lower car.
