Default 2004 ex manuals, whats best

Just bought a 2004 ex and wonder what choices I have for shop manuals such as helms made for my 89 celebrity. I got the car so I would not have to fix it but still would like to know in some detail how it works.
Where can I pick up 20 amps of 12vdc to run a dc to 120 vac inverter?
How does the chip key work?
Are the supplied Michelin tires rotation sensitive?
What wax do they recommend if any?
Is the walmart oil filter good enough?
Thanks for your help...

check http://www.helminc.com for the shop manuals...they might not be around yet though because of how new the car is...

Dont know if I should reply to my first entry or those replying to it. Will try this. Did order some oil filters, wiper inserts, oil crush washers, and an outdside temp from handa-accessories.com today.
Was this a good place?
I will comment after I get the stuff.
Will also check out helm for the manuals. I was very surprized helm was doing the import manuals as I figured they were a GM subsidiary or something. Guess not.
Thanks for the reply.
later, slater

My 2004 4 dr sdn ex csrs seems to have no outside temperature display as part of the trip odometer. It has a 4 cyl and I think the temp comes with 6 cyl or 6 cyl and leather.
I bought a bunch of stuff from an internet honda dealer in CA and will be using only honda parts on this car. I think I will saw an old honda oil filter apart to see how it compars with the various grades of fram.
Talked to so many dealers that the data is fogged in but I was thinking this 4 cyl had a timing chain instead of belt.
Looked on Helms for honda manuals and they have come a long way since 89. I cant tell how many manuals you would need for the engine chassis electrical.
Thanks for your help.
later, slater
