It would be nice to not have a sideways drain plug, but removing the undertray is about 12-16 screws, and only took about 5 minutes.

Buy a cap wrench - its the best way to R&R that oil filter.

I never remove that belly pan tray. I just open the access door. But on my last oil change... I took an old juice box (tetra pack) cut it open and used that to shove up into the belly pan area - to deflect any oil that comes pouring out. It worked like a charm. The tetra pack I used was a square 1L package. Worked like a charm.

Btw... nice DIY and photos!
