Jeff, excellent play by play however you did not say if you had to jack the car up to get under? Also I have had 12 other Hondas before and always changed the oil myself and wondering why do you have to leave that stewwwwpid undercarriage plastic on there? I suppose it has to do with air flow??? It seems that most of your time changing the oil is removing and reinstalling that thing. Wonder if you would even notice any difference in mileage if you just left off? Also where did you buy the filter?
