When shopping for quotes, ask them what specific parts they are going to use, particularly what fluid. ECS has a kit that will replace the entire pan, gasket, filter, new plugs, and of course 5L of Pentosin DCTF-1 for $472 USD.

That's a great tip. I did know they make a kit. I need to double check the parts because one shop quoted me a different part number that is used in 2013s in the US. Would suck to buy the kit and find out the parts don't work with 2012s in Canada. Also isn't 5L too little fluid? The video I watched showed that it used about 6L
