Note: Make sure the old gasket came off the old filter too and not still on the block when you reinstall the new filter.

i usually get a rag and spray some brake clean on it and just wipe the oil off,
if it really pisses you off, buy on oil filter relocation kit, google it or something and it will come upComment

is the cooked oil smell for a few miles or the fear of someone seeing some oil ontop of your down pipe the problem?
I got the privilage of changing my oil/filter today... my car is settin a a 8 inch hole in the ice on my driveway and I have a POS cheap jack. sliding down in the hole between the body kit and ice is easy, getting out without braking fiberglass or bumping the shadyass jack isnt as easy. the 20F weather was nice tho.Last edited by Akira_kj; 03-05-2007, 03:20 AM.I cant Slam further.

I was just thinking if it really bothers you, you could drill a hole in the filter, since its gonna be trashed anyway, and let the oil leak out through there....might help

Man I hate Honda oil filter locations! its always a biatch to rech them. Toyota puts them where your can reach them from the top, not the bottom.
anyways the kid got the last oil changed from jibbly lube, any idea on what brand filter they use, I assume crappy fram. I need to know so I can buy the proper oil filter wrench since that SOB is on real tight and I cant loosen it with my hands. I hate when they over tighten them.
I just did a ghettoe oil change where I just did the oil and not the filter since it was so cold, I hope to do a proper change in a couple of weeks when it hopefully gets warmer.1993 Honda Accord EX-R Coupe Granada Black Pearl

when I worked changing oil at a honda dealer for a living we used brake clean to deal with the cleanup after changing the filter.'90 Accord LX, 5spd.Comment

that is the reason why i do all of my own oil changes. everyone in the past has always OVER tighten the drain plug where the edges get rounded off or
the filter is on so tight that you need the GI Joe Kungfu grip to get it off.Comment
