Take the filter cap off entirely to speed up the suction. Oil should be 50C but 60C is ok in colder temps. Put an alignment dot on the oil filter cap and another on the engine cover so you know how far to turn the cap when tightening. Also do a loosen/tighten to see how tight it should be. The tightness is just about as far as I could push comfortably on a standard size socket wrench. I used a wheel torque wrench, but it never clicked at 18 ft-lbs, even after reaching the dot markers, so you're better off getting a micro-torque wrench. You'll have an extra O-ring in the new oil filter box. It's the 3rd largest (one down from the largest). This is also the hardest one to get off; you need to use the corner of a flat-head screwdriver. The other O-rings, you can use the flat part of the screwdriver on to lift them out of their slots. To take the old oil filter off, it's easiest to hold the filter and just hit the bottom of the oil filter against the ground. Get some clear containers (old milk jugs or windshield wiper jugs) to put the old oil in. If you use the old Mobil1 oil jugs, you can't see when it's full through the funnel, so you'll inevitably overflow and make a giant mess :-( The task took about 2 hrs w/ all the cleanup. The suction part took around 45min because I bought the wrong size MityVac (7400 instead of 7401) and had to empty it part way through. Fill in 8 qts, then check the dipstick, run the engine for a little while, then check the dipstick again. For some reason, it only took 8 qts instead of 8.5, so maybe I didn't get all of the old oil out? Make sure you use the new fleece filters which you're supposed to use with synthetic oil. My dealer did the last oil change and put in an old pleated filter! Just goes to show you can't always trust dealers to do the right thing...
