Now, let's get to how to change the oil in a 2000 Plymouth Neon. Other years may be slightly different. This is one of the easiest cars I've worked with as far as changing oil. The filter is accessible, and the oil pan is also easily accessible. I have not ever had any issues with filters or drain plugs leaking, or drain plugs needing replacement on the Neon oil change.
