Funny enough - just done mine today.

Quite a bit - two 5L cans will do it with about three-and-a-wee-bit litres over for top ups. With luck, if she doesn't loose oil it'll cover 'the extra' your next change...

Filter's a *beep* to get at - Jack the car up at the right  and use an appropriate wrench - The one I have is like a loop of chain with a thing to take an extension bar...  One of those three leg ones might be good ; the type that grip it from the side, there isn't really much room to swing it...

Jacking it up helps drain it too - so tht's all good... Otherwise it's just heat her up, drain her out, swap filter, plug back in and off you go...

Always remember to refit the drain plug before installing new oil . . . . . . . .
