There's plenty of videos on YouTube on doing the oil change. It's not as straightforward as most, but it's not hard either. Do the external filter too. Supercheap get them in pretty quick. Their part number is WTF4. Easy to remember!
Once you've done the oil change it might be worth doing a clutch relearn on Forscan.

Yeh i changed the oil and filter yesterday, no improvement. Old oil was dark brown. Haven't done clutch relearn. it changes gears smoothly except it kicks hard when acceleration after breaking to a slow crawl at a intersection (assuming kicking into second gear) and noticeable down shift to 3rd gear when decrease in speed down to 35km and you can here the rev as if it goes into 3rd to early.1st mechanic said this kick it's due to broken engine mounts. But i'm thinking it's not and that the transmission is faulty. I can't believe i didn't pick this issue up when i first bought it. Never driven a mondeo before, thinking the power (or lack thereof) it's normal for a 2 litre diesel.
