Oil Change

I did the oil change yesterday and it went perfectly. I thought I'd provide the information in this post that I consolidated from this and other forums for any others who are interested. Pics attached. Thanks to all those who provided this information. 1. I changed the oil with a warm engine so that the oil would drain more easily. 2. I didn't unscrew the cap on the filler neck until midway through the draining process so that the oil wouldn't come out too quickly. 3. Unscrew the drain

Update:  I just read in another thread that the LN magnetic drain plug has a different torque spec of 19 ftlbs, so will torque to that from now on.  Also, in subsequent oil changes I have put in 8 liters to avoid getting the overfull indicator intermittently.  With 8 liters the oil level is usually 1 bar down, and sometimes on the full mark.
