Is it absolutely necessary to remove the plastic undertray? On my 350Z I can manage to do an oil change with the undertray in place. Sometimes I get a little oil spilling on the tray and have to wipe it up, but generally the oil drains through the gaps and into a container.

Yes, it is absolutely necessary. There are no gaps. You can't even see the oil pan and filter until you remove the undertray, let alone reach it.
