If yours is the same box as my 1999 2.4 N/A, what I did was:
Jack up, wheel off, lower until car is level at front. Then extra supports etc etc.
Remove fill plug before draining, to be sure you can!
For refilling I used the 1l bottle the oil came in but extended the tube with some I had lying around. That meant I could hold the bottle outside of the wing and above the filler hole.
All very easy.
Cheers
Joe

The fill plug is at the rear of the n/s driveshaft, approximately 2-3 o'clock position.
Definitely an under the car job, drain plug is close to the sub frame at the n/s so expect a little oil to sploosh over it during draining.
Takes about 2.1 litres of the older GL4 oil, 75-80 or 75-90 will do fine.
