All you need is a 15mm socket and a ratchet, along with something to catch the oil in. That and 6 quarts of oil and a filter, of course. 
Sometimes the stock sized oil filters can be tough to get off without an oil filter wrench since it can be a tight fit for fingers... but the strap style doesn't fit so well in the space. I've found the cup style (fits over the bottom of the filter) that makes use of a 3/8" ratchet works best.
