Hello VicTek,
V> I may do just that Wayne. I just need to take some time to find the V> oil filter
Right front of engine.
V> and see how much of a pain it will be to R&R, see if I can V> get at the oil pan drain plug or if I'm going to need a couple of V> front wheel ramps,
Ramps are no good whatsoever, since the car has to be level. You can jack up the RF wheel, and put a jack stand underneath for safety, enough to get at the oil drain plug (or valve -- see below in this message). then when that is off and the oil is draining, it should be lowered back to level.
V> find out where I can take the old oil for safe V> disposal/recycling...
My local AutoZone is pleased to take the waste oil, even when I bring several oil changes worth (which I let accumulate in the drain pan / container I have).
V> On second thought it's starting to sound like real work .
Not too bad though. I have a Fumoto valve installed on my car so there is no fiddling with the oil pan plug. See this page for more --
