I would get

http://www.gearwrench.com/wrenches/ratcheting/xl-seriestm/gearwrench-85099-16-pc-xl-combination-ratcheting-wrench-set-metric.html

the oil filter wrenches, end cap and strap style.

Some latex gloves

Hammer and punch to put a hole in the filter and let it drain while pulling the oil pan plug so that you don’t get a rush of oil when removing the filter.

A grease gun any style you like (personally I use a lever action)

Finally a good drop light and pocket light (LED style)
