Jack up the vehicle.Use jack stands for safety.Get under the engine and you'll find out how easy it is the oil pan. Be careful though. Drain the oil into a container before even removing any bolt.
go to an auto parts store and look in the appropriate repair manual for your car... might give you some insight
