Spark plugs, wires, air filter, fuel filter, oil and filter, top off on fluids, trans service (if it hasn't had one in a while).

Yup. Use this for general guidelines.

And if you need any help, don't be afraid to ask. Nobody is born with all this knowledge. Everyone has to learn it somewhere. Except for Scott. He's the exception.

one hose clamp holds it in... two plastic clips hold the hoses to the filter. undo the clamp... pull the clips... swap out... put new clips in. MAKE DAMN SURE it's the right one before you start. there are a number of mid year changes on these damn things. If it doesn't use the plastic clips... you will need the quick disconnect tool which makes removing them a bit more a pain, but going back with the new one is nicer. Also pay attention to the flow direction.
