I just changed the oil in the used car we bought during our trip to
New Zealand. It's a 1994 Toyota Carina ED with the 3S-FE 2.0 liter
inline 4 cylinder engine that is also in a few other Toyota vehicles
such as the Celica, Camry, Corona and MR2.

I took pictures of the process and wrote up a quick guide to help
other owners.

Here's the gallery - http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/Toyota-3S-FE-Engine-Oil-Change-Guide

I hope some of you find it to be useful.

Cheers,

For your safety I would suggest using jack stands if you are getting under a
car.

Note this quote on the page, "If you have them, it's best to use jack
stands to support the car as an extra precaution in case the jack fails."

"If you have them..."? Holy mackerel.

The author has obviously never seen a car roll off a tire-changing jack. I
have. I'd NEVER get under a car held up only by a tire-changing jack;
anybody who will is foolish, and must be strongly desirous of a long
hospital stay.
