There is not much point just changing the oil and leaving the filter, it means that your nice clean oil all will be full of crap within bugger all time and while its better than nothing, I personally wouldn't do it. When i change the filter in the celica(1g'd) i go in from the bottom in front of the cross member- ive got two gas converters that ive got to work around and the intercooler piping so it not easy, but it can be done without pulling anything off.
just get under the car with an appropriate tool(theres a thread for it around somewhere) and get stuck in- youll get it and once youve done it the first time you will know for the future.
