Default Is there a tutorial online that shows how to manually change oil on the Crossfire?

With the hardships of the economy I need a oil change. I can't afford to spend 120.00 for a oil change. I'm trying to find a how to do it yourself tutorial video. I'd appreciate any help.

here you go you'll have to buy a topsider pump or something similar, but it's worth I've changed my oil twice using this method.

If you have a jack and jack stands you can remove the bottom panel (4 bolts) and drain like a conventional car via the drain plug. You get a lot more oil out this way anyway. Also, don't forget to loosen the oil filter to relieve the system pressure and drop another half quart or so.

not knocking your way of changing the oil but I've gotten just a little over 8 quarts both times I've changed mine using the topsider
