Jacking this car is a pain, I drove drivers fwd wheel up on a 4x4 block to be able to get floor jack under car..jacked from beam behind drivers shock absorber.
You will need to remove the plastic pan under engine 4 bolts 7/16ths...
after that its all easy to get to...oil plug 13mm.
oil filter is on passanger side. may be easier to jack from pasanger side.
good luck..
45min job, with 10 min beer break...cost - $40

BIGTUNA, I just finished up the 1st oil change on my C (2200 miles). Exact setup that you did: K&N oil filter and Mobile 1.
I tried using my ramps at the house, but the nose is too low. One of the benefits of being in the military is use of an Auto Hobby Shop. For $2, I rented a lube stall. Drove the mighty Hemi onto to the lift, cranked it up, viola, oil changed in about 20 minutes. However, it took me a minute to figure out the plastic shroud under the oil pan.
I'm sure you noticed the funky setup on the oil filter output from the block .......it's not round like every car that I've ever worked on. Interesting to say the least. Did you also notice the hash mark on the oil pan plug and the one on the oil pan? I guess it's to make sure the service technicians don't over-torque it.
