You need to get drive up ramps. Most of these are too steep, and will hit your body work before the tire starts to climb the ramp. So choose carefully.
You need a container to catch the oil. When the oil is first released, it will shoot quite far back, then the stream will quickly fall to just under the drain.
Use a 6 point socket only on the drain bolt. It might be on very tight. 12 point sockets will round over the facets on the bolt.
You will need to replace the copper washer.
Filter? Oil? Depends on how much money you are willing to spend. I use Mobil One 10W30 and Purolator PureOne filters.
You need to find out where you can drop off the used oil so it can be recycled. Perhaps Canadian Tire. Old windshield washer bottles are good for storing your old oil.
The work can be messy until you refine your technique. Drain when the oil is warm, not hot. Do not do this out in the open on a windy day or the oil will be everywhere. After the main sump is near empty, replace the drain plug but not tighened down. Now remove the filters, and catch the oil from the filter mount. After it drains for about 5 minutes or so, an air lock will break, and a the flow will increase a lot for a while, then you are done. Wipe the mount with a clean paper towel, put oil on the filter's rubber gasket, and tighen up. Do not make it over tight or you will regret it. You will need a good filter wrench, but good ones are hard to find. After mounting the filter, drain the sump once more. To add oil, remove the black plastic panel that surrounds the thrttle body. Lift at the back, and pull to the rear. This will allow you to position the one liter bottles in a fashion that will allow for less spillage.
