Hi,

I am a newbie.

I would like to know what kind of caps i should use
for the xtal of my PIC.

Thanks
 

pic caps

Yes - small ceramic caps. Probably 18pF to 33pF. If the cap is too small, then XTAL oscillation will be unstable. If the cap it too large then XTAL will take longer to start. Error on the high side is safer.
