just changed my oil and filter on 2005 coupe.did not even put car on lift.reached under with 10mm ratchet set up.removed four bolts and dropped cover.then reached in from front of car and removed drain plug.replaced plug/cover and changed filter assy.had paper filter and four o rings. of varying sizes.was easy and saved about$65 dollars,and did not have to worry about some igmo scratching my car.good luck

 

i just did mine for the first time this weekend. it wasn't difficult at all and not as messy as many other vehicles. i used a paper Purolator Pure 1 One filter (made in India). i used a rubber strap filter wrench to loosen the filter housing. total cost was approx. $50 (filter plus 8qts Mobil 1 0W-40). still need to check level to see if i should add another 1/2 qt - though FSS monitor says "ok". i used ramps to have a little easier access.

even though the rubber o-rings aren't difficult to remove, i wonder if it's actually necessary to replace them each time filter is replaced?
