Spark plugs go with 26nm of torque. Now that's only slightly more tight than hand-tight (1/4 - 1/2 turn) Do you have a torque wrench? You also need the long 'spark plug' socket.
As for the filter, screw in hand-tight. But in my experience getting the old one off is the hardest part. You need a special tool for that as well, but seriously large pliers may do the job.
Oh, and since you will get under the car, you will need axle stands to be safe.
So, depending on what tools you have, it's easy. 30 minutes. If you want to do it by the book, and if you don't have the tools mentioned above already, it's serious money. But if you plan to do the work yourself in other instances, too, they are well worth it. Because the first thing you will need anyway is a torque wrench and axle stands.
Good luck,
Jan Geert
