Only thing I would add is on a full oil change where you are letting the engine drain for some time, on refil I do NOT start the engine. I will pull the coil wire and let the starter turn the engine over until I see the oil pressure register (light or gauge). I want oil throughout the galleys and journals before that motor starts and begins turning revs. Motor running with no oil pressure is no bueno.

On a FI car I'd pull the relay or fuse so you aren't flooding the engine while turning it over.

My 2 cents...
