1/4" - spark plug, valve covers, valve jobs, bikes and such
3/8" - handles most suspension work
1/2" - main use is probably lug nuts
You pick based on the torque needed for the job you are doing.

200 in-lbs is only about 16.7 ft-lbs, so only about half of what you need. The 3/8" is ideal.
I don't actually use a torque wrench for an oil change, but it won't hurt if used correctly. Follow the directions, and make sure the wrench is clicking at 15ft-lbs. before turning it up to 30 ft-lbs.
This is another option that doesn't require the setup so many people find difficult:

To convert in-lbs. in to ft-lbs. you have to divide by 12.
If you need further explanation, let me know and I'll try to make it make sense.

To the guy who said they're using this on a carbon bike: are you farking nuts? I would not trust a temperamental material like carbon on a $4k+ bike to a $12 tool. You are begging to crack your bike on a $12 tool.
This is a fine tool for anything that requires larger force, like automotive work that can accept accuracy within 10%. I have a beam-type that I use for more sensitive stuff like my bike.
They were "highly" rated years ago, not sure how they are now. Good thing is the lifetime warranty, you don't even need a receipt to get it exchanged. Once in a while they try to pull it up on your account but never had an issue exchanging which I've done several times (due to the no-click issue). But most times, just grab a replacement and go.
But 3/8" would be a great choice.
