Seriously right? Its such a a pain to not only remove the oil filter when i have to change it, but then, re-install a new oil filter that is partially filled with oil. For those of you who haven't had the fun of doing an oil change on the slightly older (90-97) Honda motors, the oil filter is basically located in the middle of the back of the block. Remember that these are I4 engines, mounted opposite of how I6 are in the BMWs.
