LOL.

#1) Remove plastic skid pad under engine using 10mm socket.

#2) Remove oil plug from oil pan and drain into bucket or similar container.

#3) When oil is slowed to a very slight drip remove oil filter using tool.

#4) Replace oil filter (lube up the edge of the new filter a little with some oil.

#5) Replace oil drain plug.

#6) Add 4 1/2 quarts of oil. Start engine. Let idle for 5-10 sec.

#7) Check Oil level on dipstick. Fill with additional oil to max capacity.

#8) Replace plastic engine cover under car.

Done.

There are many different oils you can use. Most on this board recommend a quality Full Synthetic: Amsoil, Royal Purple, Mobile1.

As for oil filter, you can use a variety also. A lot of people use factory ones from the dealer. Some use high filter quality ones from Mobile 1. Its all subjective.

Do a search on youtube "g35 oilchange" There are few clips with detailed instruction.

Once you done and proved to your dude you can do it just ask him if he can make a funnel cake for you. If he can't just kick him out. LOL
