It is pretty easy if you have the right tools. I have the same boat.
buy one of these below and put a brass fitting on it that matches the size of your oil pan fitting. run the engine to warm up the oil first and then pump the liqui-vac up and it will suck out all of the oil. I don't recall what the size of the fitting is, but if you look at your engine, the valve is on the starboard side in the middle towards the bottom. it has a cap that unscrews.

once you do that. take out the oil filter and replace. it is easiest to wrap a plastic trash bag around it and unscrew so that you catch the oil as it is taken off.
the oil filter is R077001
Delco PF2
Motorcraft FL1A
don't use a Fram. I prefer the PF2.
the oil is 15W-40
I use Shell. it is a diesel engine oil I believe. takes about 5-6 quarts, I think. -
I will be getting a liquivac today that is slick, I can't believe I have not heard of that before.Comment
