V10, I would change all the sump bolts as well.
Too much power is barely enough.

They'll follow Elsawin instructions so should hopefully be all okay, anything else I need to do? Nothing wrong with the box btw, just doing it as preventive, especially now it's running over 1,000nm through it.
You could get a new sump plug and fill plug too if your feeling flush.
