easy job other than the parts, just a 10mm socket for the V cover if its 5spd i think its 28mm drain plug ( i will try to confirm this ) if its auto i believe its a 17mm unless your pulling the pan for the filter

To replace those dabs of gaket compound around the ends of the camshafts you need, of course, a tube of gasket compound. The drain plug has a metal washer that a perfectionist woud replace. Is this a manual transmission?

Since it's auto, you probably have a seperate case for the differential and a seperate drain plug for it. But don't drain it unless you are prepared to do the refil, which involves removing a large, hard-to-get-to bolt and pumping transmission fluid while lying under the car.
