Dont do it yourself, take the car to an oil change garage ... it's cheaper in the long run, it's illegal to dispose of your used motor oil, it has to be recycled due to chemical hazard, so these places do that for you ... plus it gives you a good record of changes if you ever decide to sell your car.
Changing Oil is simple enough and pretty much the same for every car. But where can you find Instructions?

That's a pretty simple and easy to understand explanation of the process.
You can try the Manufacturers website, Google the info or do any type of search should also yield some results.
the manual for the vehicle should help you out it is very easy to do
Good instructions from others but before you 'do it yourself'....



If you are going lift the car in your drive-way, make sure the ground is even and place a large stone, block, spare tire on the opposite tire (rear) so that it will not roll back and crush you. For example, if you are lifting the right front tire, then place the object behind the right left tire. Don't be alone when working undernealth the car.
look in your owners manual
