Default oil change 03 x type

Hey guys I have a 03 x type 2.5 auto.. is it possible to do your oil change yourself? I tried and the plug bolt is extremely difficult to unbolt. Im using a 13mm socket and no luck. Im I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance

manuel, doing the oil change on this car is pretty easy. From the sounds of things, someone over tightened the plug the last time thinking it was the source of an oil leak. Sounding like you are going to need to get a slightly bigger breaker bar to get things loose. I would also say to make sure that you are turning it in the correct direction. Being under the car, you can sometimes get turned around and take things the wrong direction.
