As any good mechanic can tell you, there are few worse experience than trying to work on a car without the neccessary tools. To change the oil in your car you should have the following basic tools:
 
Ramps     
*Wrench  
Funnel    
Drain pan (at least 6 quart capacity)
 
 
 
 
Oil Filter Wrench  
In addition to these items there are some others which are not absolutely necessary, but handy to have around:
 
Adjustable wrench    
Safety goggles    
Creeper  
Lots of rags    
For safety precautions, you should have soapy water or waterless hand cleaners because prolonged skin contact with used motor oil is harmful.

* The size wrench depends on the size of the oil drain plug.
