Just jack the car up, use a jack stand. Then unscrew the belly pan (4 screws), remove the drain plug and drain the oil. When you have the filter and shaft out, take note of the O rings locations on the shaft, tug the old filter off and clean the shaft up a tad, put the new O rings on and slide the new filter on. One of the smaller left over O-rings, I believe goes on the dip stick handle, just under the lip and seals the tube.

The first time is always the hardest.
No washer, no leaks here.
