Now before you guys judge me let me tell you bit of my honda experience.

I have built a ~12:1 B16
Installed numerous Turbo kits
Installed NOS. Direct port and single fogger
Completed Many engine swaps to Ef's Eg's and Eks

But this frigging filter owned me. It took me 3 hours to remove.

I hate u K series


All the tools needed to remove oil filter

On a good note. My motor has 5000 miles and this thing is getting stronger day to day. I love the way the ****** pulls from 7000 RPM to cut off

 

HAhahhaahaah! Oh ****! LOL! hahahahha! Dude tell me about it! That damn filter is bitch to take out. I wish I had pics to show mines! LOL! You actually used all that tool to take that filter out, DENG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used my own hands w/ a rubber glove. It worked for a couple oil changes, but the 4th time, DAMN!!!!!!! That **** is hard to take out! Well at least you got it out, heheheheeh!

 

You can buy a cap that fits over the oil filter at autozone... you attach it to a 3/8" breaker bar/socket and twist away.... I rarely change my own oil anymore, but when i have to its worth the $5 to pick this up.

 

Well I ended up buying that but it was too late. The filter had lost its shape. Next time Acura gets my $19.95 (complementary car wash included)

Thats why i dont change my own oil. I spend an extra $6 and i dont have to crawl on my back in the parking lot/driveway and i dont have to dispose of the old oil.

haha yeah thats what I was going to suggest.

 

haha it must suck to go through all that trouble just to get out a oil filter. and also, the filter also looked like it got owned.

 

Ouch!

labcabincalifornia = One of my favorite albums!

 

Some of the difficulty is the resized little filter, you will notice the outer metal edge of the filter housing actually tightenes down on the metal of the filter area. They are a pain in the a$$ to remove, but better that than it coming off.

 

haha...thats some funny ****....

 

O man, i have the sam problems

i install an aftermarket-oilfilter on my k20a, from this german company

its better

 

You can say the filter got owned now.

 

I had the same problems too. If you take off your stock strut bar, you can get a much better grip on it.

Oh yeah, try not to buy the STP filters for your car, they are really really short and it makes it that much harder to grip. I stick with Fram and whoever makes those big white ones.

 

had that same problem on my friend's b16a2, stuck on there so tight it took at least 2 hours just to hammer and stab it off!

 

i thought it was cake on my RSX....

 

 

 

Are you guys tightening down the filter to spec?

 

This is why I usually get my oil changed by someone else. I can't spend all day trying to change my oil when someone else can do it in 10 mins, plus Acura wash's my car for free

 

How come Honda doesn't give free car washes

 

you didnt need all those tools ...all you neeed is some sandpaper , and some good old elbow grease ..

 

i had the same prob when i changed my oil.. i went to sears and bought a weird lookin wrench... i don't know how to explain exactly but it had a rubber band type deal that adjusts and when i clamp it down it gets tighter it was on one of thse bob vila comercials ...lol... thats what a use now it works great...

 

ROFL
**** dood im reading your **** looking at the pics and i get 2 the the now removed filter and i burst out laughing. You ******* demo'd that ****.
That was one hardcore oil change hehe

 

How are you guys going at the oil filter? I haven't done the oil change on my 03 Type-S, but I've done it on my buddy's a couple of times, and we had no problems getting the filter off, maybe we've been lucky. We've taken the wheel off and reached in the wheel well and through to the oil filter, and unscrewed it by hand to get it out each time.

(after using a hammer and screwdriver first to loosen it).

I guess the factory uses air tools to install the first filter.
