Just finished changing mine. You will need a crush gasket for the drain plug. A good place to order the filter and the gasket is www.************************************************************. Good prices and good service. No affiliation! It takes some time to drain so don't get in a hurry. I bought my oil, Mobil 1 (0W40) from Walmart for $5.97 per qt. Be careful and don't overfil. I put in 8 1/2 qts and that was just right. Put in about that amount and start checking. Overfilling is not a good thing. It will help if you get the filter wrench. I bought mine from Performance Products. I notice that they want 50 bucks for it. I think you can beat that price. It requires a 27mm wrench. Torque the drain plug to 37 ft-lb and the filter to 19 ft-lb. That about does it...a very easy DIY.
