just did mine a few days ago, the differance is amazing. So much smoother, pulls a lot better in the lower revs, and the power is straight there.
did my coilpack(it needed doing), plugs, air filter, fuel filter, oil filter, new oil, new antifreeze and stuff. New brakes aswell it's bliss.

You need an 8mm square sump plug tool.

Agreed, the seal around the plug can leak sometimes
