Is changing the transmission oil on this vehicle a DIY job?

Changing the transmission oil on any torque converter automatic is never a DIY job unless you have a hoist and don't mind removing the sump. A lot of the fluid stays in the torque converter drum so less than half will drain from the sump plug unless it is pumped out.
