Oil Change

[H2bill]

Getting ready to do my first oil change on my '06 H2 (5,000 miles). I haven't even crawled under it yet to look, but is it pretty straight forward? Do any skid plates need to come off? Does the drain plug have a crush washer or anything I need to have on hand before I start? How hard is the oil filter to get to? In other words, is it entirely straight forward with no surprises?

I did do a search, but didn't find these answers. Thanks for any info/help.
