If the manufacturer has added this procedure, it is probably because they have seen failures. I would do the extra torquings. They only take about an hour, if you have the tools. Youmust use a torque wrench.
Remove the air intake hose, as necessary.
Remove the rocker arm center cover.
Label and remove the spark plug wires.
Remove the breather and PCV hoses.
Remove the upper timing belt cover.
Remove the rocker cover.
Tighten head bolts to proper torque specification in sequence shown below. 65-72 ft. lbs. (90-100 Nm).
Install the rocker cover.

it is very easy to change the oil put the car on ramps secure the back end look for the drain plug underneath the engine make sure you have the right size wrench and when you remove the plug also check the gasket on the plug to make sure it is not cracked you will also need an oil filter wrench and my other suggestion to you is to go to autozone to see if they have a Haynes repair manual for your car and if they don't see if they can order you one in the mean time they can also print you off a diagram of how to change the oil in you car safely

After some extensive research, it looks as though they have two totally different body styles as well as a few others. The differences are as follows:
Lantra: 1.5L
Elantra: 1.6L or 1.8L engine sizes
Lantra: 2,336 lbs
Elantra: 2,500lbs Weight
Lantra: 11.89 gal
Elantra: 13.7 gal fuel capacity
those are only three differences that i have put up among the many that i have found. Lantra's also seem to be one of those out of states type cars that you find in Australia mostly. The body is also totally different.
