Amsoil 5W20...........

Last thing I need to clear up before I start changing my oil. I have an EX, so how many qts of synthetic do I need. I think it is like 3.2 for an ex, but I am not sure. If that is the case then I will have to buy the 12 quart bottle for like $60 from the amsoil web site. Also, I am going to go ahead and buy the honda filter and washer. Do I have to buy the wrench to put the honda filter on and take it off? Thanks for all your help everyone!

Yeah, that's about what you need, I usually just buy the 4L quarts, Honda OEM filter (crush washer comes with it), and the filter wrench. I got one at a local auto store for a few bucks. Some claim that you can get it off by hand, but for only a few bucks I just decided to buy one in case.

ak can only hope to improve
check the manual.... it states how many qts the EX needs. i heard the first time it might be hard to take out the filter by hand, but after that it should be easy.

Yeppers, 3.7 for the EX plus the filter, so you will need about a gallon. I got the gallon for mine and used it pretty much all up on the 1 change.
