A few thoughts about my first Crossfire oil/filter change:
I've only put 1400 miles on the car since buying it in June.
The FSS said I still had 4900 miles to go before an oil change was due but the oil was quite dirty so that was a definite lie.
The FSS is reset to 7000 miles now but I doubt I'll let it go that long. Once the oil (Mobil 1) has been in for 3000 miles I'll base the change on how dirty the oil is but I won't let it go past 5K.
Setting the torque wrench to 18 ft lbs was the perfect setting for the oil filter. It was equivalent to the person who said, "Hand tight and then a 'snug.'"
The plug washer, based on the very deep grooves in it, is probably the original one. I put Teflon tape on the plug threads. It definitely won't leak but I'll get some copper washers when I have to order something else.

I bought a new fuel filter a while back. I noticed that the fuel filter in situ looks somewhat rusty & nasty yet has regular hose clamps on all the fuel hoses instead of factory fittings. I figure if I let the car sit for 3 days the high pressure should be almost gone. Do you agree? It's gonna be raining for a few days so I'm gonna try to install the new steering wheel. That's all folks!!!
