So here's a few more pictures of when I did my oil change. Do this at your own risk, safety first, I'm not responsible if something goes wrong, etc...

Stuff you'll need. 8mm hex socket for the oil drain plug and a 6mm hex socket for the oil filter drain (not sure if this should be a torx, but the hex worked fine). I used a 15/16 socket for the filter cap although it probably is a 24mm.


Remove the drain plug with the 8mm hex socket


Next, drain the oil filter cannister by removing the silver plug from the bottom of the oil filter "cap". Here's a picture showing that drain plug.



After the small amount of oil drains, replace the plug with a new rubber O-ring which comes in the oil filter kit. Tighten to 10Nm.




Next, remove the oil filter cap with the 15/16 or 24mm socket.


Pull the oil filter out of the cap. Replace the large rubber gasket, and insert new oil filter. It should snap into place. Reinstall the cap with the oil filter.


Replacing the gasket on the oil filter cap.


This is where the oil filter cap screws into.


Tighten the cap to 25Nm. Replace the copper crush washer on the oil pan drain plug and tighten to 22 ft-lb. Couldn't find the torque spec, but that should do. Fill with new oil and check the level. It's always easier to add some oil than to remove it. I think I started with 8 liters and added half a liter after measuring.
