Additional suggestions:
Get a supply of oil drain plug gaskets, and use a new one each time.
They're inexpensive and help insure against leaks.
Get an oil fitler "cap" wrench to fit your filter. Goes over the top of
the filter and you loosen with a ratchet handle and extention.
If you're doing your own oil changes, let it drain for at least 45
minutes before removing the filter.
Over night is even better. Gets more old oil out, and less mess when
removing the filter.
I too, agree, do a couple of short mileage conventional oil changes
first before changing to synthetic.
