Going to do this next week
Know how to change plugs etc
But how do I drain out the oil?
And where do I put it once its all out? Do I need to take it somewhere to get it disposed off?

you need to take out the sump plu with a container underneath as it will PISS out very very fast.
Wait untill its finished and replace plug (apparently ure supposed to change plug everytime 
It will need disposing i let my dad do that bit

Corsas use a torx bit so make sure you have a set. I couldnt find mine so i used a hex bit and it chewed the bolt  Most local council dump/recycling center will have an oil disposal place. You can find your nearest one on this website

would look kinda cool... a burd under the car draining oil... take some pics/vids....
anyways... jack up car... support on axel stands... get a bucket/basin under the sump plug....open the sum plug.... make sure the oil dont go everywere.... get your oil filter removing tool and loosen off the filter... throw it into the basin to.... whiles thats all draining off replace your spark plugs..... dont ever tighent them..... screw on new oil filter remembering to smear the sealing rub with some new oil...... tighen this as much as you can by hand.... reinsert the sump plug..... fill with oil.... put about 3 litres into it..... start the engine... make sure the oil light goes out.....lett it run for about 15 seconds..... switch it off...... then check the level on the dipstick and top up accordingly...
