OK, done with the 1000 (actually 1226) mile 1st oil change. A few thoughts:

* 29 ft/lb on the drain plug? Uh, someone at the factory might have set it at something much higher, but I got it off. Interestingly, my torque wrench's lowest setting is 26 ft/lb and I wonder if accuracy is less consistent at that end of the range? Anyway, felt right.

* They say ensure not to double up the crush washer. Looking at the plug, I was not so sure, just a silver line under the threads that might have been paint scraped off. After a couple of minutes with a paring knife -- yup it came off, that was the crush washer.

* My Harbor Freight "race jack" got under there, but could not get the car high enough to set either pair of jack stands in the correct spot. I could get another jack but... don't raise the bridge, lower the river. So, Amazon sent jack stands with a lowest setting of 9.5" (only 2 tons, though). Worked like a charm.

* Wow, 0-20 is really low viscosity compared to, say, straight 40 weight. Just pulling the dipstick out, a few droplets went everywhere. Fortunately had a bottle of spray detailer handy. That said, 0-20 is I guess thick enough, it took a long time draining until the last drip-drip-drip ended (20 minutes?)

* 5.3 quarts did not do it. More like 5.7 quarts. The suggested screw-in funnel works great, I recommend getting one -- the clear window means you can really know when the bottle is more or less empty.
