Oil change on this car is the same as any other. No sensors to disconnect to actually drain the oil just the sump plug. Filter is easy screw off but it's worth punching a hole in the bottom of it first and allow the oil to drain as there is a fair amount of oil held above the filter and just unscrewing it could result in a very oily hand.
Always pre-fill the new filter and after re-filling the sump, if possible disconnect the crank position sensor* to stop the engine starting and crank on the starter (10 secs at a time) until the oil pressure light goes out, before re-connecting the crank sensor and firing up.
* Electrical connector located under the alternator, above the crank pulley - tricky to get to!
