Oil Change Help

What oil and filter is the best to use when changing your oil. What brand is the best, I was thinking about the mobil brand. Any comments?
Any tricks to performing this task.

Its cake...

Turn the wheel all the way to the right and reach up just underneath the splash guard close to the axel for the oil filter.

As for product, under 10 - 15k dino oil for proper breakin.

I personally use the Mobil1 filter (around 10 bucks) and Pennzoil currently. Lots of people use the OEM filter. I also take a picture of the receipt and Odometer for verification (I just love paperwork)

After 10K I am going to use Mobil1 Tri_synthetic. I also change every 2500. Overkill I know, and those that say you don't have to thats fine, but I will continue to do it. To me 25 bucks every 2 - 3 months is fine by me.
