17mm Socket or Wrench and then a special tool or spanner wrench that takes the cap off the Filter.... Rest is Easy.. Drain the Oil and make sure you put the Drain Plug back in before you start to fill the system.
It is located on the oil pan, please be advised the oil pan is also the casting that houses the front differential, and the engine oil drain is the hex nut furthest to the rear of of the pan . You will need a 17mm wrench to remove the hex nut . After you drain the oil, DO NOT over tighten the plug . The proper torque is 25 newton/meters or about 20 foot/pounds
VERY SIMPLE,JUST TAKE OUT THE OIL DRAIN PLUG(17MM)WRENCH DRAIN THE OIL,REPLACE THE PLUG,THEN REMOVE OIL FILTER RIGHT ABOVE DRAIN PLUG AND REPLACE,FILL OIL ABOUT 3.75QRTS FOR A HONDA.
The clearence between the bolt heads and crankcase is very tight u might have to take a old 17mm socket and grind it down a little to get it on the bolt head. I think one bolt is for the oil in the engine and the back one is for the dry sump, there is oil in both at any given time.
Then it sounds as if a special wrench is needed to remove the oil drain plug, unless there is an alternate way to remove it.
So what you are saying is the frame or engine case is in the way of putting a wrench on the plug?

Ok, I saw in the manual where the oil drain bolts are located, they are in a poor spot.
I suggest you call a dealer and politely ask what wrench they use to remove the drain bolts.
Can't get socket on it. Had to get a box end with thin walls.
