XTerra questions

Hi!

I'm a new XTerra owner (just bought it in August) and have a couple of questions.

I got a base model, 4-cylinder job. Not a lot of frills or extras. I'm starting to see the need for the tubular step that goes along each side (I'm not that tall, and neither are most of my passengers). Is it available exclusively from Nissan or can it be obtained elsewhere for less? Can it be installed by somebody reasonably handy with tools? Are there pre-drilled bolt holes?

Second, I do my own oil changes. Did my first one a couple of months ago, but couldn't get the danged oil filter out. Anybody out there know the trick to doing this? I'll probably take it in for the next oil change because the dealership sent me a coupon and says they can do it in 30 minutes. I'd still like to know how it's done, though.

Thanks!
