Like when my CV boots were replaced, they torqued the lug nuts to about 200 ft-lbs. As far as oil changes, I never used to jack it up, but now I do. Not that it helps with access (stock springs), but jacking up the front driver's side corner using the tow hook lets about a half pint or so more of the old oil to drain out.

sorry but in this scenario... its all your fault. ive never had troubles with this. The Maxima does not have too much power anyways, i wish i could get more at the wheels without breaking the bank. but basically... learn to drive.

See the little plastic pins on edges of the mud guard? Theres a few of them. You pop those off, and you can get the guard off. I've never done the ground oil change before, and it doesn't seem likely that I will, since the last time I took those pins out to change some belts, it was a hassle, and I don't think I'd be able to do it while reaching around the wheel too. I also don't think I'd be able to get under the car to reach the drain plug. Oh well, doing the ramps don't take too long, and it'd be easier for me.
