Are there any good websites that show step by step instructions to changing a car's oil and oil filter?

I've been taking my car in to be serviced every few months and everytime all they do is change the oil filter and oil and I pay at least $70 for it. Sure, it's nice to have them check everything else (lights, brakes, coolant etc.) but I can do that for free. The only thing is I would like to learn how to change the oil and oil filter on my own. I think it'd be much more efficient for me to do it and with driving a huge tank (02 chevy suburban) that gets 12 mpg on a good day, i need to save every cent possible.

anyway enough with explaining why I would like to learn how to do this, do you know any websites or have any tips for me?

thanks =]Are there any good websites that show step by step instructions to changing a car's oil and oil filter?Changing oil and the oil filter is a very easy thing to do. You will need a oil filter wrench, funnel and something to put the old oil in. First make sure it is on level ground and then find the oil plug to drain it out from, It will be below the engine. You will need a adjustable wrench or socket for this. Take the drain plug out but make sure the bucket is underneath the plug because it will start coming out as soo as it is loose enough. Once you have the plug out let it drain for 5-10 minutes and make sure all the oil is out. After that your gonna want to to take the oil filter off, you will need the oil wrench to losen the filter then you should be able to turn it by hand. There will be a good amount of oil that comes out of this too but not to much. Once the oil filter is out screw the drain plug back in and then tighten it with your wrench so its snug but do not over tighten it. Next you will put your new oil filter on but before you do put some of the old oil on the gasket of the new filter so it seals properly. Once the filter and drain plug and tighten you are done working underneath of the car. The final step is to poor in the new oil. Open up the cap and then you will probably have to use a funnel to poor the new oil in, poor it in slow and take your time so it does not spill out and then you are done. It sounds like a lot but once you do it, it will only take 15 minutes at the most. Have fun and always make sure the new oil fliter and the plug are in before you poor in the new oil because you don't it spilling right back out!Are there any good websites that show step by step instructions to changing a car's oil and oil filter?Cars, trucks and boats/Doityourself.comAre there any good websites that show step by step instructions to changing a car's oil and oil filter?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA989OnnX
