You should get the Mobil 1 oil filter too. Model # M-104. Yu could pick it up at Auto Zone for like 10 dollars. I bought my case of Mobil 1 oil from CostCo for 23 dollars.

Go to your dealership and get a honda filter. ask for the washer for the oil drain plug. that will cost you about 7 bucks. best filter you can get.

you dont need a new drain plug, just the washer. in fact you can stretch changing the washer to a few changes. also, you can get the filter off with your hand. if it is really in the good, just grab it with a wrench (no need to buy a special one). if it is still stuck, drive a screwdriver thru one side and out the other and twist it off. but like i said, you should be able to get it off with your hand. make sure you oil the gasket of the new filter.

I'm getting my oil done as we speak by the dealer. I wonder, if next time, I brought my own Mobil 1 synthetic and told them to use that. Do you think they'd do it?!

here we go again mobil1 ($9.99),, STP ($2.88) EXACTLY the same filter made by the same manufacture check it out
http://www.ntpog.org/reviews/filters/filters.shtml

They do this to keep their production at even levels with various demands for sales.

I was wondering when someon ewas going to catch on to that one. I've been around for four or five months now, and nobody's chimed up. You nailed it on the head though. What a classic movie huh?! LMAO!!!!
