About to do the first oil change / spark plug clean / fluid check on my new to me '69 Arrow. Been a gearhead on cars for years, never touched a Lycoming except on preflight. Watched a couple YouTubes, and have an experienced partner that should be there to help. Here's a list I've come up with:

Filter: Champion CH48110-1
8 qts oil
paper towels
5 Gal bucket
3' x 8" or so of cardboard to channel oil from filter away from engine
1" socket for filter
Hose for drain valve to bucket (ID size?)
Safety wire
Wire cutters
Spark plug socket/extension/socket wrench/torque wrench
Dental pick for carbon
Propane torch/water cup to anneal copper washers
Hydraulic fluid
Brake-cleen
Torque specs for plugs and filter?

Can someone answer the questions? What else?
Thanks!
