If you're battery is black it is the AGM battery and you need to replace with the same. The AGM battery's require special programming I believe and can ruin a normal battery if your car has been programed to run on the AGM battery. If it the standard white one then any battery should work.
I just replaced a white battery the other day myself, took about 30 mins once I got the spare tire and air compressor out of the way. Got it from the dealer and with the CCA discount it came to about $180. If it lasts 5 years like the one I replaced I will be happy.
