Take the plug out, wait for the oil to drain, put the pug back in and add the proper amount of oil to the engine.
Start it, check for leaks, and you're done.
Turns out the Intrepid is one of the easiest cars I've ever changed the oil on! The only tricky part is getting the jack just right, or you'll jack up the engine!
My grandfather used to be a part-time mechanic, and he quit working on cars in the mid 70's, because they started getting too complicated for him. I think that may be where part of my "new car" fear is rooted!

However, if you just change the oil and don't do any other service, I would probably just drive the car to the nearest BMW dealership and have them reset it. Mine does that for free.
And believe me, the $50 for the reset tool would be negligible compared to the cost of buying and owning an M3.
