On the 3.2L engine you will be looking for the drain plug it's a 21mm or 22mm if it is the original drain plug and a 17mm if it is a replacement plug. Remove oil cap. Remove the plug drain old oil into oil drain pan. After the oil has drained wipe off the plug and replace it in the drain hole. Next you will find you oil filter on this engine it's in the lower front part of your engine if you have removed your skid plate then you will be able to reach and see this from under the truck if not you can see it if you are standing to the left side of the radiator look straight down depending on the brand that has been used it'll be orange (fram), white (fram tough guard), blue (stp) or black (Moble). This you will need to remove the trick is with the skid plate in place to not spill with you drop it because in it's location it is turned sideways and will leak and will get dropped. Once that is done compare the old filter to the new filter to ensure that you have to correct one. Once you have that done take the new filter and put your finger in some new oil and spread on to the gasket of the oil filter. Replace filter on the vehicle. Now you are ready to add oil. Put the oil to the top of the dipstick normally about 4.5 to 5 quarts. Replace oil cap. Start the truck check for leaks around the oil filter and drain plug. Shut off truck check oil and check oil if this is at correct fill level you are done for the next 3,000 miles.
