I'll be coming up on my first oil change soon and am concerned about removing the under-tray to get at things. What tool should I use to remove the pegs that attach it? Are they likely to break? How difficult are they to re-install?

Also, for those who change their own oil, I read somewhere that I should pre-fill the oil filter before installing it. Is this something most people do? Is it necessary?

Thanks --
Doug
