Finally got around to changing my oil and filter today at 3380 miles. In addition to the steps above, I used large binder clips to keep the access door flaps open to keep them out of the way. One caution, the drain plug washer was still attached to the housing instead of being removed with the drain plug.

I didn't have a 1/2 drive extension for the 32mm socket so had to run to Autozone before I could remove the oil filter housing. Just had a little trouble getting the filter housing threads started before tightening.

I only refilled with the 5 litres (5.28 quarts). More oil came out then I put in so it's probably a little short of full capacity but it's measuring full according to the vehicle info. I'd feel better if we had a dip stick as a backup confirmation to the system reading.

Thanks again for trailblazing this for us.
