Just a general comment: Many people have the dealer do it and they use a vacuum system to suck the oil out. The only significance to the DIY'r is if the drain plug has NEVER been out, then it can be a bear the first time (ask me how I know). And ASSUMING that has a similar cartridge element as mine, it can be a little head scratching the first time you deal with that. BMW's have the same kind so I am used to it now.
