When I get to walmart, or autozone, how do I know which filter to buy? I haven't looked yet.

If you go to Autozone they'll give you part numbers for all sorts of filter brands. I use Bosch Premium oil filters. They're something like $5 a pop. Part number 3323 or something like that. Ask the dude at the counter to make sure though.

Just so that people don't get confused. 3.7 quarts for the EX and HX (I think?). 3.4 quarts for the LX and DX.

Oh yeah, save your receipt from where you buy the oil. Then save the old oil in old milk jugs and take it back to the place where you bought it from. They should take it, it depends on your states laws though...

Don't put them in milk jugs, put it in the containers your new oil came in, many places won't accept just any container. Most part stores will take your oil, as will toxic waste disposal centers. Many will also take your filter.
