I currently own a 2012 Titanium and I thought this would be a good starting point as there may be many similarities as far as the process.
Tools you will need:
15 mm wrench for oil plug
Oil Filter wrench
T30 Torx wrench
Before you can change the oil you must remove the splash shield / sound deadening shield.
It's appears to be a plastic like material with cloth glued to it. It's very sturdy and looks like it will stand the test of time and exposure to road grime.
There are 8 T30 Torx screws that retain this piece. Up on ramps, its pretty close quarters under there and the back most screws are difficult to reach. I've done it twice now and just finding the back ones by feel works well.
The rest is the usual. Remove the oil plug and the filter, drain, replace the plug and filter and fill with new oil.
I've found it best to put the Torx screws in loosely until you have the cover positioned so that all the screws are lined up. Then, snug them up.
