15mm socket & rachet or wrench, a strong hand or a oil filter wrench, a new oil filter and 5 quarts of oil.

just use a 6" crescent wrench for the drain plugs..and use a good synthedic oil and either a amsoil or k/n oil filter..make sure you rub a lil oil on the gasket on the oil filter

Unless you have absolutely no other tool, please don't use an Adjustable wrench.

You may as well use vise grips. You will round the plug head, and cause a world of schitt for yourself or whoever does it for you later in life.

PS-I love to and will always charge extra labor for having to tap the pan and replace the plug because some jerkoff screwed up the plug/threads with vise grips or "Crescent" wrenches.

Ill probably get some **** for this but stay away form Fram filters. A Motorcraft or Purilator is all you need unless your into racing. Frams are very restrictive.
