I was going down the street not too fast but probably faster than I should have being that there was snow on both sides of the road. The road itself was clear and as it was two blocks from my house I had been down the same road multiple times today and all was ok those times so I guess I was more confident than I should have been. Someone must have recently shoveled their car out and threw the snow in the road because my bike decided it wanted to go sledding on its side. Im perfectly ok, I barely felt it because I landed on snow, even the bike looks no different then it did this morning except for one little detail. That detail being my oil cover which scraped the rest of the way off and oil spilled out onto the road. I say the rest of the way off because I hit gravel once before and went down somewhere between 10 and 20 MPH and thats the same spot that scraped then (I do have frame sliders on from the first owner but didnt replace them after the first spill).
Anyway I need my bike back on the road asap because it is how I work. I was trying to do some quick searches on here but as I am in kind of panic mode and havent calmed down yet (this was like 30 min to an hour ago) I just want to make sure I dont order the wrong parts or too many parts or too little parts or etc. Also is it a quick swap of the cover and then do an oil change while Im at it or is it more complicated than it seems? Did anyone do a writeup I missed in my search?

The parts?
Oil Cover - 1B3-15416-00-00
I assume I should replace the gasket too? 5SL-15456-01-00
Anything else I might need other than maybe then the one bolt that got scrapped the most?
As always, thank you all for reading and your help.
