Default Oil Change

Ok guys don't kill me for this. My wife has the Accord, so where is the oil filter? I would like to start changing her oil myself because thats how I've always maintained my own car (Nissan Pathfinder), sorry for the stupid Q but I don't have any experience with accords. Oh yeah, its a 98 SE. Thanks

It's kind of high up there, the oil filter. Can't see it without jacking the car up.

Its between the engine and fire wall. Jack the car up use a jack stand crawl under an take a look I just use some of these blue rubber gloves you can buy now that grip real good, wipe it off and grab it and twist it off.

Its somewhere thats way more of a PITA than its worth. Ive always changed my own oil as well but finally admit to being whooped.

Take it to your Honda dealer. Mine is $22 for an oil change and car wash.

2 hrs eh>>??? WOW..it is not like you are trying to find a passage in the BIBLE for GOD'S sake ,, ,, it takes less than 30 seconds.. go to the DIY section, scroll down , it is on the second page oil and filter change ,,
the DIY section is there for a reason, so we do not have to spoon feed everybody , and it is not the matter wether it is an easy question for someone to reply , but this gives you a chance to get more familiar with the DIY section should you have more questions in the future which the answers and instructions might be already there .
I am not trying NOT to be helpful ,, merely to let our members know all the info that is available , if they are willing to take a few minutes and search

Another way is to use the search feature locatred at the top ,, at the left side ( search term ) input oil change on the right side ( search in forum ) scroll down to ( do-it yourself section ) , click the ok button and voila'a it will bring you right there ,, mmmm 10-15 seconds tops
