I drive a 2007 E and my wife drives a 2008 CRV.
When I changed the oil filter in her CRV I was pleased to find that the filter in the CRV has been moved to a location right behind the oil pan. It's oriented in such a way that it doesn't pour all the oil out as soon as it's unscrewed. This has got to improve the start-up oiling too! I couldn't get a good look at it but I'm thinking Honda simply added some new plumbing to do this.
So, here's my question:
Is it possible to get the parts from Honda to move the filter to this location on E's? All of us who have burned forearms and oil stained driveways need to know.
Anybody done this?
