Run an engine flush through it as well prior to changing the oil. Also change the pollen filter.
Get yourself up to GSF in Glasgow for all your parts, excellent guys in there and they know their stuff.

More or less. Just tell them you want a service kit then. They should be able to sort that out for you.
