Weight

How much does a 2013 Acura Sh Awd weigh ? The only reason why I ask is because I'm going to buy a Jack to do my oil changes and tire rotations.

Less than 4,000lbs. Any floor jack will do.

I bought a three ton jack at Sears as we owned an MDX at the time.

If you look at the specs on the link Reorg posted, the TL can get right up to 4000 lbs depending on which model you have. Even though you aren't lifting the weight of the entire car, I would look for a heavier duty jack. Safety first

Including the jack, find a pair of jack stands. It's not worth being trapped under a car if something horrible happens. Jack stands can save a life.

Should invest in a torque wrench as well

I found this hella deal at Canadian Tire for a torque wrench/breaker bar combo:

[canadian tire] 59.99 Mastercraft Maximum 1/2" Torque Wrench and 1/2 24" Breaker Bar - RedFlagDeals.com Forums

(expires in two days)

something else to consider is buying a low profile jack if you're riding low. Saves the trouble of driving up on wood/books/bricks to get your jack underneath your front end

Harbor Freight, I paid $12 for a torque wrench (bought 3 different sized ones) that have a lifetime warranty and paid $69.99 for a 3 ton floor jack and $19.99 for 2 3ton jackstands. Sign up for their email blast and you won't regret it.

That's a pretty good price for Canadian standards...
