Do I have to do anything special or any differant preporations. Is it just like changing regular oil?

Regardless of natural or synthetic oil, the most important part will be to use the right weight for your engine and change it right at recommended mileage.
Regular oil: cheaper cost for more frequent oil changes, slightly lower properties than synthetic.
Synthetic oil: more expensive but long intervals between changes.
Any of the main brands of either type are ok. I use compressed dinos, but many friends swear by synth. 3 Fords (Bronco II, Ranger, Explorer) with an average of 175K and multiple bikes with wet clutches that get regular oil.

go synthetic. I use Mobil 1 SUPERSYN in my Chrysler 300M and i change it every 10,000 to 15,000 miles. oil changes for me are truly a once a year event anymore.
My motorcycle gets Castrol GTX 20w50. everything else is a waste of money for the bike. I would use Mobil1 SuperSyn in my motorcycle also, but unlike my Chrysler, the motorcycle has a wet clutch that would crumble if it were bathed in it.

save the $$$ and use the 5-20wt oil it needs. the other stuff is a waste of $$$ for your civic
My old prelude has 325,000 miles on it using castrol GTX 20-50
