Here is a helpful link with lots of other info. (I believe that the F650 prior to around 2008 is very similar)

Removing the drain plug was the hardest part for me. I ended up having to use my long torque wrench to get enough torque to break it loose. I thought I was going to break it!

Another tip is to put in the second quart slowly, as mine backed up and overflowed because I poured it too quickly.

Add two quarts, start the engine and let it run for a bit. Add another 0.3 quarts when there is room. Let it run until the fan comes on, then 3 more minutes. Turn it off and check/finalize oil level.
