Do you have a suitable tool to remove the oil filter top?

If you are draining the oil via that little flap in the undershield be prepared to get an arm full of oil when it initially bursts out. I purchased an oil pump and it works brilliantly. Only cost about 30 quid and sucks out virtually all the oil

make sure you have a big enough tub to catch the oil- there's 6.5 litres in there!
