That's great. I'm glad I could help.

Thanks,

No, I think the oil change kit includes oil, an oil filter, an oil pan, a funnel, and a socket wrench. I wouldn't replace the magnetic drain plug, anyway.

If you open it first, most of the used oil will drain out the magnetic, drain plug opening. I would estimate the quantity at over a quart of oil.

I recommend opening the left, oil screen plug first. You will make less of a mess, since you can open the plug partially, and the draining oil won't hit your hand.
