If you can find the oil filter, I'll give you a quarter. If you can get it out after the lube tech tightened it to 325 lbft, I'll give you sixty bucks.

Edit: I snapped this after I found it. That's how I knew it was on so tight. It still took me a good few minutes to find it because I kept looking under the car. I wasn't expecting the filter to be on top.

  • Lean over with a good grippy glove and wrench that little blue bitch out.

    Or buy Honda Part number 07AAA-PLCA100 and a ratchet.

  • I detect Honda B-series engine. Damn, if only I hadn't spent the last 5 years of my life exclusively working on my own Honda of identical build.

    Your oil filter is accessed from underneath the car, you will need a set of ramps or a floor jack and jackstands.

    It is on the rear side of the engine block, horizontally screwed onto the side of the block. Basically trace your exhaust pipe straight back as it goes under the oil pan, then go up. It's not terribly hard to reach.

    Get yourself a locking chain wrench like this to try and get it off. I've been able to get off even the most fucked oil filters with one

  • Cender bottom, the blue thing. I'd use this:

    But yeah, it's not quite easy.

    • I'm not a mechanic, so please bear with me
      What the living hell is that thing of a tool? Oo

      • I'm no mechanic either, but it looks like you can tighten the chain around a stuck cap and then use the red handle as a lever to apply a large amount of force, "unsticking" the stuck cap
