You want fully synthetic 5w-40 oil . Yeah it is possible to change the air filter yourself , but its a bit fiddly . Easier if you remeove the fuel guard protector which is 2 x 10mm bolts shown on the pic .Its 5.1 litres if you change the oil filter and 4.75litres if you don't change the oil filter , keep an eye on your dipstick as you fill it up rather than the oil level readout on the comp .
