Oil change?

How do I change the oil in my 1988 Chrysler New Yorker and my 2007 Toyota Avalon?Oil change?
I am guessing that you have a drain pan, oil and filters already. You may have to raise both vehicles to get under them Block them up before crawling under them. Find and remove the drain plugs, and drain the oil into the drain pan. replace the drain plug. Now remove the oil filter, you will need the drain pan because the filters have oil in them, Make sure that the surface that the oil filter mates with is clean.Put a small amount of oil on the rubber gasket and install the new filter, once it becomes snug only turn it 1/2''. Fill with new oil, check for leaks and make sure that the level is full. DO NOT OVER FILL.Oil change?
on the toyota avalon you will most likely have to get the filter from the dealer it is most likely a new canister style filter it is kind of a pain to mess with but if you have a 3/8 drive ratchet or extension you can take it right off

Oil change?
two ways: 1) go to a mechanic and pay him to do it, or 2) jack the front end of the car up, or drive it up onto ramps. Underneath the front end of the car, find the drain plug on the oil pan, and remove it (you will need a box wrench). Let the old oil drain into a pan or other suitable container (you can get one at Auto Zone or someplace similar). Replace the plug, then pour the appropriate amount of oil (check your user manual) into the engine. It really is easy, if you have the means and time to do it.
If you have to ask, You should take it to you local service station and have them do it!
