The cap on the filter may give you a little trouble because the standard socket that fits it will jam under the intake manifold as the cap raises in the threads. You can buy the special tool (shorter socket) from the dealer (I think ckpaden mentioned it in a post), but I just got my machinist to trim the socket in a lathe. Other than that, it is a pretty easy job. Oh yeah, there is a lot of oil in the engine, so make sure your catch basin is big enough. Make sure it can hold the 6 liters and still give you some room to move it around without sloshing it all over the floor.
I am at 9000 miles and have changed the oil twice myself. Highly recommended DIY maintenance.
