Thanks to all previous contributors! Just did my first DIY oil change and went fine. Drain bolts were both 6mm and came loose pretty easy by "popping" the ratchet to initially loosen them. Did this on race ramps on the front so car was not flat but felt it was fine. Used turkey baster on the oil filter housing. Took out 6.25 oz from that housing. Refilled it with 200ml of new oil before putting the new filter in. Filled main oil section with 8.4L, so including the 200ml I put in a total of 8.6L of new oil. Let car idle to get a measurement. Oil level was one increment lower than max. Will keep an eye on it on future drives.
Torqued drain bolts to 18 ft lbs which I believe is ~25Nm. Didn't feel like it was excessive.
