Just out of curiosity, what is the recomended torque for the oil plug?

Most drain pan bolts have a separate washer that needs to be replaced every couple of oil changes. The H3 bolt has a built in rubber seal, it couldn't hurt to replace it, the rubber seal will wear out eventually. The drain bolts should be pretty easy to get from the parts dept. at your dealer.
Remember to tighten the skid plate bolts. I lost one bolt after paying someone to do my oil change. Never again.
