the oil dran plug is at the bottom of the sump... you got to be under the car to see it.
the oil filter on a 1.6 DOHC engine is next to the exhaust manifold... it is on the right of the manifold and it is protruding from the engine block.

For the 1.6, the oil filter is the 3387A, which is the same filter as the Leganza, Nubira, Lacetti, and Kalos. It is a very common filter that a LOT of other cars use.
The drain plug on my 1.6 is a 19mm which is located at the rear of the sump pan at an angle so the oil doesn't drain straight down.
The drain plug and filter are close enough together so that a large oil catch pan will be able to catch the draining oil from both the plug and the filter when they are removed.
Remember to skim a thin layer of oil over the gasket of the new oil filter so that the heat from the engine does not bake it onto the engine block and make the filter VERY hard to remove. Basically, the gasket can glue itself in place, and that isn't any fun to try to remove.
Reccomended tools:
A 19mm wrench to remove the drain plug bolt:
An oil filter wrench on a ratchet handle makes filter removal VERY easy.
I would also reccomend you get a box of inexpensive food preparation plastic gloves. They are disposable and look like they are made out of the same plastic sandwich bags are made from. This keeps the oil off your hands and makes clean up much faster.
I have found a *GREAT* way to make a funnel that screws right into the oil filler on top of the valve cover.
Get an empty 3 liter soda/pop bottle, cut it in half, wash it out to remove any sugar that may be in it, and the threads of the bottle screw right down into the oil fill hole!
The bottle funnel also fits most of all the other Daewoo cars, too. The only way to make sure it fits your car is to try.

great info OZ 
just two tips:
1- try to drain the oil while the engine is hot... that seems crazy as working with a hot engine is hard and you can burn yourself with hot oil but hot oil draind much much faster from an engine that cold one.
try to loose the drain plug and oil filter while the engine is cold then start the engine for a few min. to heat it up... this way working with the hot parts is not that irretating.
2- if you got no tools whatsoever to remove the oil filter then put a smooth sand paper (grade 400 i guess) in the plam of your hand then grab the oil filter and twist it... it should work fine and the sand paper provides loads of grip on the slick filter surface.
