I think a non-chip key could also be made that would just open the doors?

Brought some of my ex's mail from here to her place today. She loved the Accord - wanted to drive it. She did OK for not driving a standard for over 20 years. That's when we traded in the 1986 Accord she won from a TV station. I was looking for the oil filter on mine, I remember my brother in law showing me where it was on the '86 - my sister and he always had (still have) Honda Accords. He showed me you could reach in from above the engine on the firewall side and grasp the filter. Doesn't seem to be the case with the 2.3L. Couldn't see the oil pan drain plug either. Looks like a jack and jack stands may be required for an oil change - although I never jacked up the '86 to drain the oil. My son has a heavy duty floor jack and jack stands for his truck. He said just bring the Honda over which would be easier.
