Default 10 screws hold it... 5 mins to take it off

3 screws on the back side, 3 on the front and 2 (plastic) each wheel well... you need flat screwdriver and a 25 cents coin for wheel well plastic screws... you do everything from underneath the car...

And you don't need to jack it up to change the oil, once you get the pan off it is very easy.

If drain plug washer is alumininum, reuse it. I double checked w/tech, all fine after 3 changes.
