Newb questions

1. How many quarts of oil are needed in the 4.4L?
2. Is Synthetic required?
3. How hard are oil changes (filter location mainly)
4. Anything else I should know?

Thanks in advance.

On the oil change, here's a nice guide:

Capacity is 8 quarts. Recommended viscosity is 5w-30. I like Mobil 1 synthetic and it can be had at Wal Mart for $21/5 qts.

They're all the same unless you have the HD package which has an electronic rear locker. No idea of the max tire size, but the proper lube can be found here:
