is it easy to do a oil change on my car its a 05 astra

yes tracy.under the car on the lowest part of the engine is the oil sump,this has a sump plug if this is removed the oil will pour out.when oil is warm (not hot) place a bowl under car and slacken the sump plug move bowl under plug and remove it.oil will pour out,leave to drain until drips stop.the plug has a washer on it good practice to change this.refit the plug,there is a torque setting for this but if you nip it up this usually is ok.remove the oil filler cap on top of the engine, the oil can now be poured in through the filler hole.you must make sure you use the correct grade of oil and the right amount.check oil level on dip stick and fit the filler cap.hope this is of use.
