What year?
What model?
Transverse engine?

Many cars have aero pans that cover the underside of the engine compartment. There should be info out there for simple access to the drain the oil. Transverse engines have a cartrige filter next to the dipstick thats easy & clean to R&R after removing the top engine cover.

I found this post with instructions but the pictures were moved.The drain plug is at the RR corner of the pan.



Here are the simplified steps:

1) Have the engine warm.
2) Secure front of car on ramps or jack and stands.
3)Remove oil filler cap (Marked with "Mobile1 SAE 5w30").
4) Remove drain plug (13mm socket) and let oil drain out.
5) Remove oil filter cap (15/16" socket). The oil filter will be stuck to this cap.
6) Swap out oil filter and reinstall.
7) Tighten oil drain plug.
8) Fill with 5 1/2 qts of oil and tighten oil filler cap.
9) Start engine, let idle for a little bit, and shut off.
10) Check for leaks and check new oil level.
11) Reset Oil Life Monitor (see owners manual)
