How hard is it to change coupe's oil?

I was rading another post where it talks about unscrewing like 15screws, then sliding plates around to get at it; so, out of curiousity

1) Is it really hard to do? (i.e., on the mustang it was easy- slide underneath, twist the filter, drain, apply new one)

2) Is it gona be necessary to buy an electric screwdriver for convenience?

Yeh man it's easy. Not as easy as other cars, but they don't have the same cover to take off, or limited ground clearance necessitating ramps.
I have time, have a garage and tools, and enjoy doing the job. You must decide for yourself[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img] good luck.

when you slide under the car you'll see the under cover panel and about 22 screws. You only need to take off 7 of them and the panel will drop down.

I rather do it myself, gives you that assurance it was done right, nothing missing and nothing swapped.

sorry I didn't take pictures. If you look at the whole bottom cover, you'll see a crease right before it connects to the front bumper cover.

Just take off enough screws so the cover just folds down.
I'm too lazy right now but tomorrow I'll grab a flash light and take a look.
