Edit: I snapped this after I found it. That's how I knew it was on so tight. It still took me a good few minutes to find it because I kept looking under the car. I wasn't expecting the filter to be on top.

Cars with oil filters like that always roll in when you're not busy, so they don't get to cool in the lot, and you get to watch your skin melt when you accidentally touch metal. Good times.

If you can get a screwdriver through it, you might be able stick a pipe on said screwdriver to give you a lot more torque. Just have an oil pan underneath, because it will start leaking oil when you put the screwdriver through it.

As others have said. Filter is blue.

The only time I've resorted to the screwdriver technique (due to not having enough room to tighten and then turn a strap/chain wrench) the screwdriver shank just tore through the filter when I tried to turn it, a broader tool like a wide chisel might have a better chance of success.

What I ended up using that time was an air hammer with a broad headed chisel (pushing on the side where the impact would unscrew the filter). The angles wouldn't work well for this in OPs case but if you have enough side access to get the air hammer through it's a decent last resort.

I had to do this to get the factory oil filter off my motorcycle. Went through 3 different oil filter removal tools and all I achieved was rounding off all the edges of the filter.

Yep. I had that issue with my Jeep Patriot. Tried everything I could think of to not have to puncture the thing, but I couldn't get it off any other way.

Lean over with a good grippy glove and wrench that little blue bitch out.

Or buy Honda Part number 07AAA-PLCA100 and a ratchet.

Are you taking suggestions or questions?

The oils filter is the bright blue thingamabob sticking out the side of the engine on the bottom of the screen.

To remove it, I risk I could, but only after sharing a piece of my mind with the loon that tightened it at that setting.

Looks like it's going to be a bitch, good luck!

I detect Honda B-series engine. Damn, if only I hadn't spent the last 5 years of my life exclusively working on my own Honda of identical build.

Your oil filter is accessed from underneath the car, you will need a set of ramps or a floor jack and jackstands.

It is on the rear side of the engine block, horizontally screwed onto the side of the block. Basically trace your exhaust pipe straight back as it goes under the oil pan, then go up. It's not terribly hard to reach.

Get yourself a locking chain wrench like this to try and get it off. I've been able to get off even the most fucked oil filters with one

It's an H22A in a Prelude Type SH. But the valve cover between the B and H do look very similar.

There is no room to get to the oil filter from the bottom. Believe me. I tried. This engine mounts it up top to make room for the ATTS unit. The base Preludes, however, do have side-mounted oil filters that are significantly easier to reach. The filter on my R-series Civic is bottom-mounted and super easy to reach. But yeah, this guy was a true PITA.

I snapped this after I found it. I'm a fairly honest dude. I wouldn't say find the thing that isn't in the picture lol It's the blue canister in the center bottom of the pic. You'll see it just left of the brake master ;)

H Series Gang! There have been a lot of times I've been happy my Prelude is not an SH, and I enjoy my T2W4 swap! I've got a DC2 Integra with an H23 VTEC swap that's pretty fun, but I would've kept the B18 personally! I can live without power steering but no A/C in the south is rough.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is that a b20 in a CRV? It looks like where it was on mine anyways. Bitch to get out when tight because I had to reach up over the subframe and power steering rack to get to the damn thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Nope. H22A in a Prelude. There's no way to get it from the bottom, unless Gilderoy Lockhart just "mended" your arm or you are Mr. Fantastic in the flesh. You must get it from the top.

The H22A4 that comes in base Preludes has the filter on the side. It's much easier to reach, but you will spill. This top mounted filter on the Type SH drains back to the pan every time you switch the engine off, but it's a real pain to get to.
