Great instructions with pics MM. I did this service myself last fall on my '07. My only hiccup was cross threading the drain plug when re-installing. I was careless when I hand threaded the plug in. After partially torquing it up, I noticed that the drain bolt wasn't flush. I backed it out & to my horror there were aluminum slivers in the hole. Ugggh. I got out what I could see (magnet was no help for the aluminum slivers). I have gone about 1k miles since & have not had any issues. I need to get one of those graduated fluid injectors.
