I just did my first oil change last night. It was very easy. Just remove 16 bolts and 3 fasteners, drop the splash pan and it's so easy that I didn't spill one drop.

i was talking about the oil filter gasket..... (i mean since that is what i said in my original post)
the oil filter uses a rubber gasket, the oil pan drain bolt uses a brass washer.....
oh and the brass washer CAN be reused... its not advisable, but its possible to reuse without leaking any oil. but yes at a $1 its silly not to buy a new one...
