PSA for the rest of the forum reading this: If you decide to DIY with many of the M3 fluids that use hex bit sockets, remember to 1) buy quality hex bit sockets as the size precision will matter and 2) when you go to break the hex bolts loose, get a strong wrench position with the bit socket firmly flat and flush into the hex bolt and apply immediate torque, i.e., don't ease into it.
Aluminum is soft and it is easy to strip the bolts if you don't apply good technique.
