You can find out how to do this with a hundred different detailed youtube videos.
I will outline the procedure on my car how I do it so you can see how simple it actually is. No you don't need a lift. Yes you lay down but keep in mind 65 year old mechanics can lay down and its not a big ask for most people in good health to lay down under their car.
> unscrew oil cap at the top of the engine
> get plastic pan to collect oil and slide it under the oil pan
> get 14mm socket wrench and slightly loosen the drain plug
> loosen it the rest of the way by hand, then carefully remove the plug to not drop it into the collection pan (not a big deal if it happens)
> go have lunch
> come back and pour a little new oil down
> go and clean up lunch
> come back and screw the drain plug back on with a new copper washer
> unscrew the filter which i do by hand because i do this myself and don't overtorque like the lube tech
> pour a little oil into new replacement filter and screw back on
> fill with oil
> cap the fill lid
> done
as you can see you screw and unscrew three things. this should fit within the mental model of most people quite easily barring intellectual disability.
