Thanks boss. Do you also need a swivel attachment? I'm prepping to do my first oil change at a little over 3k miles

I ordered a 0w20 Liqui-Moly oil change kit from FCP Euro, when the spring arrives I'll likely switch to 0w30, or 5w30.

Here is the proper tool for the job. I had on hand the socket, but I thought it was kinda tall and a tight fit. This one fits perfectly and is fairly inexpensive.
