Post #23 above for drain plugs with fresh crush washer tq spec. As for the filter cover, use a white (or light color) paint marker to indicate the position before you remove it. I believe the factory already have this marked on the filter cover and the metal base plate, you're supposed to get close to that mark as tightening it. But really you just tighten the plastic cover until it seats flush against the metal plate, there are rubber O-ring so no need to over tighten it.
Racer Louis Thanks for the DIY post.
I stopped changing my own oil between changes as my dealer only charge $102 USD for an oil change. That means I would only save $25 doing it on my own, not worth the hassle.
I do need this from your post, makes it easy to top off oil.
