Just be aware that the manual gearbox is VERY particular about having a proper gl4 oil not one of the hybrid gl4/5 oils motor factors are want of selling.

to the OP...oil and filter is very easy to change. I removed the exhaust heat shield and coolant expansion tank for easier access to the oil filter. I used 10W-40 Castrol since I am in the tropics.
Do not omit flushing coolant and brake fluid as part of the over all service....see same wiki page for specs and advice on coolant type.
Cheers.
