Here is how to change the oil:

  1. Look for a skid plate below your truck, if you have one take it off. If you don’t, you are in luck, that is one step you can skip.
  2. Next look for the oil filter (it probably has a white cap covering it). Also, find the oil drain plug.
  3. Loosen the drain oil plug and drain the old oil.
  4. After all the oil is drained, replace the drain oil plug.
  5. Next, loosen the oil filter drain plug. And remove the oil filter.
  6. Replace the oil filter with a new one.
  7. Add oil to the engine and look for leaks.
