Shop Supplies
Choosing the right oil is the part this site is for. Gloves, towels, a funnel and a drain pan. The stuff you swear at when the plug is already out. The bottles tell you what the oil has been doing.
Gloves & hand care
Thin for feel, heavier when there are edges or solvent, and a second colour so clean and dirty work stay apart. The pumice and the gel are for after the gloves come off. Pick your size on the Amazon page; most of these carry S through XL on the one listing.

Drain & filter
The pan under the plug, a wrench that fits the filter, and a fresh crush washer so the plug seals again.

Funnels
The perennial complaint: never the right funnel for the port in front of you. Adapters for the fill port, a long neck, and a wide mouth for the pail.
Spill & cleanup
The thing you need ten minutes after the thing you needed. Worth having before the spill, not after.
Shop cleaning
The blower, the batteries it runs on, and the cans.
Oil sampling & inspection
Bottles, a siphon, a magnet, a marker. Label the port or the sample is junk. The glasses are for when you look into the machine.

Beverages
CAD Coffee
Morning coffee for the CAD work. Plain black coffee for the drip brewer. Pick by taste. Roast level barely changes caffeine.
