Have right tools for job beforehand.

Just got done with my first oil change. It was cake after I got the tools lined out. I highly recommend doing this yourself to everyone. Especially don't pay the dealer to do this.
If you're not quite sure, its only two 10mm bolts and two small phillips screws to remove the cover in the passenger fender well. The drain plug and filter are easily accessible with the wheel cranked all the way to the right and i suggest jacking the car up for a little more clearance.
Nissan really made this easy to do.

No need to remove the fender well if you like shortcuts. 
Yeah, it's not worth going to Nissan and paying $20 when all you need is a wrench, drain pan, new filter, and 4 1/4 quarts of oil (I don't change my crush ring on the plug).
Save the $$$ by doing it yourself and get a new mod with the $$$ saved.
