Re: changing oil.
do a search for "service manual" and you'll find it.

use a torque wrench ($30 at Sears or hardware store).
Dear God, I'm such a boton (Scottish word for prick!) I've just seen a link above all my posts with a great pictorial on it. OK Just ignore me now.
Cheers
So I did it myself, the filter was 16 bucks (at the only shop in town) so they kinda had me over the barrel. Whatever.....
For everyone that isn't good with a wrench and doesn't know what certain values feel like, you SHOULD use a torque wrench. The problem may be that people don't know how to use one and/or use one that isn't for the right application or isn't calibrated right. if you have a wrench that goes from say 50-250 lbs ft. you do not want to use that wrench to torque something to 50lbs ft.
