WELCOME to the forum.

It sounds like you've never did this kind of maintenance before. It doesn't matter how tight everything is under the hood because the filter and plug to release the oil are both underneath the car. The filter is located vertically right beside the transaxle oil retaining nut.

You'll need a 13mm socket or wrench for the oil retaining nut and an oil filter wrench. Different kinds of filter wrenches are available and different sizes. You need the smaller one. A good wide deep pan to catch the oil from the transaxle and filter.

You'll need a car jack and jack stands (don't go under the car with just the jack) or maybe a good set of ramps.

Personally, before your first time doing this, I'd ask a friend who has some experience to stop over and give you some pointers or watch you do it. Learn from experience, then buy him some lunch.
