I did my first oil change and put some Mobil 1 Synthetic oil in the car. The biggest problem I had was removing the oil filter. An adjustable wrench that looks like a claw couldn't get the filter off, so I wouldn't recommend it. There isn't much room underneath the car, so I don't know what oil filter wrench works besides the cap style.
Apparently the filter I got from Honda is made by Fram. Everything I've read says Fram should be avoided at all costs.
Here are some notes about oil filters for 99 Honda Civics.

Why should it be avoided? I also have Fram Filters. Should I change brand?
