Default installing head unit on ep3 and changing oil

well I haven't had my ep3 two weeks and it's time for an oil change just a quick question is the filter easy to access? im sure ill need to use one of those things to get to it.

and installing a head unit i've done it before in other hondas but i don't wanna go and mess up my ep3s dash, has anyone done it before? can it be done with somewhat ease? will the wiring harness from my integra fit my si? any pointers?

holler back

For the oil change I always remove the right from tire for easy access to the filter.

To remove the cd player: remove shift ****, dig your fingers into the shift boot and pull the dash piece outwards (3 tabs) and the entire upper half of the pulls off after you remove like 2 screws.

I believe all obdII radio harnesses are the same.

for the oil change just jack the front of the car up. lay under it and reach up with a oil filter wrench and the filter is easily reached.

i just reach over the engine from the top to get the filter...but I have a long arm so maybe it's easier for me to do that.

I used to do this until I got a strut bar.

I remove the tire so I don't have to go under the car to get to the filter and I have to jack it up anyways.

the dash is cake, just pops right out from my experience, you dont mess it up, but if your afraid, try where its not too noticable. From my experience, the oil filter is a BITsh, well on mine anyway, took me like 20 min to get it off because it was on so tight

The first time I removed my a2 filter I had to stab it with a screwdriver and turn. I hate when people put oil filters on too tight.
