E-Honda..

The oil filter on your engine is basically directly under your intake manifold on the back of the engine block..

if is OEM HONDA filter it'll be green and is smaller than 'regular' repco (etc) filters and may require use of a specialised tool to remove the OEM filter.

when u buy an OEM Oil filter from HONDA it's basically the same price as a repco one and you also get a new washer for your sump-plug.

jack up ur car, put on some stands. Go underneath behind the sump look up should be the oilfilter. either white, blk, geen or blue. To remove the oilfilter on a honda either buy a 3 leg oil filter wrench that attaches on a ratchet cause it pretty tight on a honda. Or the alternative use a flat head screw driver and knock thru the oil filter and wrench it off. be careful no to **** up or break anything.
