One word of caution when changing the oil:
When you pull the drain plug out of the oil tank--- BE PREPARED!! Have your drain pan ready---a lot of oil comes out fast! It's a larger opening than a standard drain plug-- I got a bit of an oil bath I wasn't expecting.
The pads are easy. I tied my sensors to a nearby hose to get them out of the way. Without the 'spiders' (noise shims) they will squeal at times, but it makes changing the pads a simple procedure. Otherwise, you have to remove the caliper to get the pads out.
