I can't get my body under it, but I can reach my arm in far enough to remove all the bolts for the undercover you remove to access the filter and drain plug. The last time I dropped something into that pan through those @%^#$% holes in the top, I removed the the undercover like that, and even managed to squeeze my head under the bumper to look around a little. I think if I had a shallow pan of sufficient capacity I could do the oil change without raising the car.
