Pointers on my first oil change?
I've decided to take things into my own account and change the oil myself on my S2000.
I know I must sound like a noobie -_- but anyone have any specific pointers that I must look out for?
I read the owners manual and they said I need a specific wrench? Can this be accomplished with any other tool?
Thanks,
Bryan

A couple of very nice S2Ki members recently helped me with my first oil self-done oil change, and I don't believe a special wrench is necessary. You can just unscrew the filter by hand.

You may also think about buying a fumoto drain valve to make things easier. You won't have to worry about wrenches after you install it. Installed mine and I can do my oil change in 10 mins with cleanup versus the 30-45 mins that it use to take me. Actually, with the OEM airbox out (CAI installed) I don't even have to jack the car up at all. Just reach in through the engine bay for access. Good luck.
