V6 oil change access

I feel so foolish asking this most basic question, but here goes.
I have a very bad back and it's both difficult and painful for me to do simple stuff like bending or getting under stuff. Thus I need as much information as possible about the location and hardware on a 1999 V6 so I only need to go under the car once to change the oil/filter. I was a skilled shadetree mechanic for many years, so my skill is not the issue, just my need to get under and out of the car as fast as possible, and do it just once.
First, are there any underbody covers or shields that need to be removed to access the drain plug. This will probably be a deal breaker for me.
Second, what kind of bolt is the drain plug. Allen?
Third, is the V6 drain plug one of those hinky things like the 4 where you need to pull with a vise grip while turning the bolt?
Anything I overlooked, please give me a heads up.
TIA,
Robert
