Time for my first service. What do I need?

Before putting the oil filter on, I always pour some oil directly into the filter--enough so that if you look in the center of it, it's about a third full. This is probably an old school habit, but I remember being told a long time ago that if you don't do this, it puts old "sump" oil right back into a clean filter right of the bat. FWIW......

Great tutorial! Definitely helpful for someone doing there first oil change. Helps to get an idea of what your looking for and seeing that walkthrough.
If you run the synthetic, you can put the same oil in all three holes.
Real easy job.

I have done mine without a torque wrench in the past but I would recommend getting one.
Save alot of money!

Makes sense. I'll keep this in mind for my next oil change.

The scavenge system is going to pump the oil out of the sump and through the filter, no matter if you have put oil in the filter or not.
The most important thing to remember about installing an oil filter is to be sure the gasket is lubed (dry gasket is the biggest cause of stuck filters).
