Astra 1.8SRi Oil Change   
I need to change the oil on my 02 Astra 1.8 SRi and I haven't had to do 
it on this car before: dealer until now.

Could someone confirm that I'm correct in thinking:

- the sump plug is on the flat underside of the sump at the front right 
corner
- I need a T45 torx bit to remove the sump plug
- the sealing ring is a rubber ring rather than a copper washer
- the plug should be re-tightened to 14Nm
- the filter is a paper cartridge rather than a cartridge in a metal 
container.

Just trying to make sure I don't get half way through the job and then 
find I've got a long walk to get the correct bits!

TIA
