You'll need an oil filter cap wrench, sized to fit the oil filter. This can be purchased at any autoparts chain, right next to where you buy filters. Should cost 3-4 bucks. This fits over the end of the oil filter, and allows you to put a 3/8" extension into the end of it, to turn the filter off.
Need an oil filter, see autoparts chain.
Need oil, see autoparts chain.
Will need a closed end wrench or socket, sized to fit the oil drain bolt on the bottom of the oil pan.
Need the previously mentioned 3/8" extension on a socket handle.
That's the minimum you'll need.
However, you'll need to get under the vehicle, so depending upon the height of the vehicle, you may need a set of ramps if you don't have someplace with a mound that you can drive up on to gain the needed clearance. See autoparts chain, probabaly 20-30 bucks. You will also need something to catch the oil in when it drains out. See autoparts chain, they make a number of different types to catch the oil and provide an outlet to drain the container later.
Once the new oil is in the engine, I pour the old oil back into the oil jugs, drop off at any oil autochange place or your local recycle landfill where they take oil.
Nothng to it, I just changed one of my vehicles this afternoon, took 15 mins beginning to end, including checking the air in the tires and all the other fluids.
