BTW, We have Harbor Freight up here for the odd tool sizes, but the 10mm hex Allen driver and the monster socket for the filter housing are "must haves".
I was in a jam once, on a road trip, and let a Big Box Oil Change place do the oil filter... never again. They buggered up the oil filter housing pretty badly.

I have a monster socket set that has that 36mm, but you can get one from Amazon from $6-$10.

Default It’s even easier if you replace the oil plugs with valves.

I like the Stahlbus ones, but the Ez/Fumoto valves work fine. One on the oil pan, one on the oil filter housing. Makes draining the oil quicker and neater. [With the Stahlbus valves, you don’t even need an oil pan - just run the tubes into a plastic jug.]
