Default changing oil

How hard will it be to change my oil in filter in my 95 gt? I used to own a chevy 1500 that I did all the oil changes too np. I tried to change my girlfriends oil in her 98 elclipse last week...yeahhhhhhh wtf. Couldn't get to ****. Just wondering if it will be difficult. Also I got castrol syntec 10w-30 full synthetic oil, is that good? Thanks

Really easy, just don't forget, as already mentioned, there are two oil drain plugs. One on the front and one on the back of the pan.
