A good tip- hold the oil pan bolt very well before taking it out. When you unthread the last bit of thread, the oil will rush out like there's no tomorrow. A few times, my clumsy self dropped the bolt in the oil change box. The oil came out too fast and I had to search for the plug AFTER it drained out, hahah.. Not fun..

A lot of people swear by the fumoto oil drain valve, but I haven't seen it in person. Seems like it saves a whole lot of mess.

Also, if your car has the crush washer painted to the bolt, you shouldn't really need to change it. Many people have had no problems with using the same one.
