Drive car up on ramps. Remove 4 undertray bolts. Drain oil into container by unscrewing the oil fill cap and removing the oil pan drain plug and oil filter. Screw in new oil filter and drain plug with new $0.50 copper crush washer. Fill with 5 qts and check level.

OP, also remember that your inexperience working on cars with proper tools, AK's DIY on this forum, your love of your car is a much better option than letting some minimum wage careless idiot work on it. They're as likely to screw something up. I never was a car guy before the Z. Now I do almost all my own maintenance and installs and have even helped out other local Z owners. I dropped the transmission in my garage with the help of a buddy and some of his tools (replaced my OEM CSC with Z1's kit). The Z is my DD, so I can't really afford to have downtime on someone else's schedule. Doing the work myself has saved me thousands of dollars in labor, no question.
