I recently purchased a used Ford Fiesta and I want to make sure I am properly maintaining it. Can you walk me through the steps for changing the engine oil? I have basic mechanical knowledge and tools.

First, make sure the engine is cool and parked on a level surface. Locate the oil drain plug on the bottom of the engine and place a drain pan underneath. Use a wrench to loosen and remove the plug, allowing the old oil to drain out completely.

Next, locate the oil filter and use an oil filter wrench to remove it. Make sure to properly dispose of the old filter. Before installing the new filter, lightly coat the gasket with clean oil. Then, screw the new filter on by hand.
