Welcome to this forum! Drain the oil through the drain plug which is located on the bottom of the oil pan. Unscrew the old filter, and install a new filter. Make sure that your drain plug is tight, and add oil until it's full. As for the fuel filter replacement, you need a special disconnect tool which is available from any auto parts store.
 






Your best friend for user service items like those, is to purchase or borrow a Haynes or Chilton's repair guide for $10-20 USD, maybe even less if you find one on ebay.
 






Thanks guys for your quick response

Changing Fluids and Filters

Oil and oil filter- job gets less messy the more times you do it, used engine oil is nasty stuff and it stinks!

Fuel filter- was a lot easier in the old days, when little or no pressure was present in it. Fuel injected systems can spray fuel dangerously, if incorrectly approached.

Just my 2 cents, it pays to know what one is getting into, and if precautions are needed. imp
