To add to your sentiments about the undercarriage plastic, IIRC that piece is only on the US version according to the owners manual, not on the Canadian version. I wonder what regulation or rule or other difference does not allow or recommend that piece to be standard issue for Canadian Hybrids also ? At least it only has to be dealt with every 8500 miles or so....
And to the original poster, thank you for the writeup on the oil change. The other thing I wondered is how you rotate your tires at home. Basically just jack up one side of the car and rotate front to rear, and then the other side front to rear?
