If you are planning on doing the regular maintenance on the car yourself, then you should invest in a Helms service manual. That will not only get you through the easy stuff like oil changes, but other services you can do and save a bunch of money. www.helminc.com

As far as the oil change, you'll seriously get a plethera of how-to's if you do a simple search on a search engine. But specific stuff about the Accord...

It's best to replace the crush washer on the drain bolt to get a good seal, always tighten the bolt to the correct torque spec. As far as V6 change volume, I'm not sure on an exact number. On my I4 I end up putting about 4 quarts or so in.

but an oil change is pretty easy, all u need to know is the location of the filter and plug. the i4 honda's hide in the rear for some reason.

my 02 accord takes 4.5 quarts, but it only needs 4.25 quarts each oil change. if i leave the car filter and oil cap off for 3 hours to drain it, it will take 4.35 and no more. a friend of mine has a kit to blow air through the dipstick tube to drain all the oil out. with mobil 1, the process is not neccessary since mobil 1 circulate and clean engine for you.

Man I recently changed my oil and had the new smaller honda oil filter on, needless to say an hour and a half later that bith finally came off. That shit is so damn small I could'nt even use my oil filer wrench. Never again. I have K&N gold filter now.
