Hello from Alabama! There is a jack pad under the front of the car. It is right in front of the little door you open to get to the drain plug. It is a rubber pad mounted on the front crossmember. They left a round hole in the undertray so you can see it.
I had to drive the front wheels onto a couple boards to get enough room for my jack.
Ramps are probably easier and safer than two jacks.
After you remove the filter housing, the filter just pulls off.
When you take out the drain plug, oil will shoot out and go on top of the undertray if you do not deflect it down.
I did my 1st change at 1500 miles with designer oil.
I hope this helps in some small way.
