Changing oil filter

Sorry if this was posted already, but most posts assume you know where and how to replace the oil filter and focus on the drain plug.

I've never done an oil change on an Acura before, only on a BMW with the filter up top.

I have an oil extractor, so I intend to just suck the oil out from the dipstick tube.
Then change the oil filter, if I can figure out where it is and how to open it up...

thanks

just use a large ziplock bag to catch the oil after you unscrew the filter then all the oil will get caught in the bag and not on the ground or you.

Front passenger side wheel well, wheel turned all the way to the right. The oil filter is the black thing. Definitely use the ziplock bag trick. It will save you from a mess.
