I've changed it once, and it really isn't too bad. They only thing I did different, was that I found it easier to remove the engine cover to access the oil filter, rather than the air intake tube. Either way gives access to the oil filter; however, removing the intake tube, as in FunfDreisig's procedure, may provide better/easier access to the filter.

I feel sorry for those without a dipstick and have to either (a) depend on the electronic level measurement and/or (b) take the oil capacity on faith and just put in the specified amount with no physical check. I like the ability to double-check things.
