New Member: Trying to do Oil Change for First Time

Hey guys,

Just registered over here. My gf has an 02 Cl Type-S with about 100k on the clock. I'm pretty mechanically inclined and do all the work on my M3 myself.

Anyhow, it's time for her next oil change. Any DIY's out there to make sure I don't screw up her car? Also, she doesn't know if she's been running synthetic or non-synthetic. She only remembers that she got the "good kind" from wherever she got her oil changed.

Anyhow, I'll look through her manual to see what type of oil Acura reccomends. Any suggestions on whether I should go synthetic or non-synthetic? I assume the process is as simple as draining old oil (going to use a topsider pump), replace filter and O-ring, pour in new oil.

Anything I'm missing or any tips you could give me? Thanks!
