Well, you can see the fill plug from above - but it's REAL tight access.
So... 0. Park on the level 1. Pull the MAF hose 2. Pull the MAF wire 3. Pull the TORX on the air housing (faces the front of car, with rubber piece on it - can pull that off too) 4. Gently pry the air feed above the radiator from the air housing 5. Pull the air housing out - filter and all (gotta dodge the prop rod clip, etc.)
You might wanna pull the air filter housing apart too the first time you do this, just for clarity. Anyway, makes for plenty of room to loosten, check oil and tighten.
Probably beats jacking up all four corners, unless she's already up. yeah, ok, I do have a half-shaft seal leak starting : (
