Anything magic I should know before I do this myself?
Around 15000km.
Anything I should check/replace/tighten/loosen while I'm about it?
Thanks for your help.

Well you have the check/replace/tighten/loosen a bit confused IMHO.
First you should CHECK the engine is warmed up properly then you should LOOSEN the oil drain plug and filter and remove/drain TIGHTEN all that was LOOSENED and REPLACE with fresh oil and filter.
Done in this order you should be right:laugh::laugh:sorry taking the piss:done:

Just check you have the correct replacement filter... and the reccomended replacement oil grade/type...

You'll need 4.8lts of oil keeping in mind the change of filter as well.
