Okay, I picked up the 02 Type S last week and finally decided to change the oil tonight, well I get the car up on jacks and before draining I wanted to check it out underneath. Drain plug. . . . .found, okay, oil filter. . . . .oil filter. . . . .where the hell is it? I don't know if I'm just being blind tonight or it's b/c my garage isn't very well lit, have a trouble light, but that's about it. If you guys could please point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. Wow, never had this much trouble with the B18C1. Well, I'm going to head back to the garage and try to find the Missing Link. Quick responses will be very helpful. Thanks everyone.

 

Nevermind guys, found it. That's a pretty weird angle to get a hold of that thing. Well, I guess there was no better way of declaring my brainfart of the night than to tell you guys. Take care and don't have a sudden loss of sight like I did earlier.

Yeah..it's quite the pain to try and get the oil filter out of our motors..unfortunately

But hey, it seems you got it out without too much hassle...most of us go through hell to try and get that thing out =P

 

Oil filters on the RSX and the EP3 are gay.

 

not when you have access to a lift =P

 

Ya, when I win the lotto I don't even play. I'm going to buy a lift

 

thats why i am going to do the oil filter relocation on my first oil change in my ep.

How much will the relocation kit run? I should look into that.

 

i just take my car to get it changed.. costs 15$ **** the time and effort to get rid of the oil, mess etc..
not worth it

 

To some people doing it themselves is more sentimental and they like to use their choice of oil/filer.

 

Speaking of which, what is most peoples choice for oil?

 

I just changed mine out with Mobil1 5w-30

 

OT but how much did you get your rsx type s for?

 

I hear that the filters come out pretty fricken mangled by the time yer done. Oil Filter relocation sounds like a good idea.
