First DIY Oil Change ever, quick questions

Alright i've read the DIY here and countless threads. I'm going to do my first oil change on my own and just want to make sure I have everything set before leaving my only form of transportation on jack stands and without oil.

1. I already have an amsoil EA013 oil filter on the car. Is this a different size than stock and what oil filter wrench or tool should I use to loosen it.

2. Is there a gasket that I must replace when changing the oil filter. Or must I make sure that the old oil filter doesnt leave a gasket behind causes a leak when the new oil filter is added

3. Is a copper crush washer from advance auto parts or pepboys the same as the crush washers from the dealership? Are there different sizes and I have to find the honda size? If so what size does honda use. I really would like to avoid the dealership at all costs.




Thank you very much
