super easy, drain the oil, let it sit, put in the plug, take of the nuts and bolts off the pan in a cross pattern while u brace the pan with an object, like one of those muffler holder pole thingys..
i like to use some sealer to hold the pan gasket in place so it doesnt slide out of position, then put in a couple of bolts hand tight to secure it.
then search up the correct torque for your nuts/bolts and do a criss cross pattern tighten job, dirve her hard, lift her up and see if it held.

EDIT: putting in some oil around 3.5-3.7liters probably would be a good idea LOL !
i think thats what it holds if i can member

Changing the oil pan on my neon was one of the messiest jobs I've ever done. Even after waiting several hours for the oil to cool down and collect in the pan I still had oil drip down all over me during the job.

Don't wear clothes that you care about.

Very easy job, I did one on a integra couple years ago. Drop the exhaust from the downpipe and the crossmember? and then undo the bolts on the pan
