A good tip to changing oil filter make sure when you put a new oil filter in, rub some oil on the rubber around it and tighten by hand, next time you remove should be easy using hand :)

Great to hear cause that's all I could do...I bought a oil filter wrench for $25,I'll get a pic up soon but it didn't even work (sorry need a pic).I ended up using a normal one and after a lot of fiddling to try and find a position to move it,I got it.It felt tight when I did it by hand so I was 99% confident it was sweet.
Hey benny thanks a lot,that Motul 8100 5w-40 is awesome! Definately best oil yet.The engine is smoother and feels real nice.It looks and feels like a really good oil aswell.
wrenches dont work very well for the d-series engines imo, had both types when I first did it, and then found the Honda tool, soooo much easier, it's a must have for everyone on the forum
Get this oil filter wrench from supercheap (similar to this picture) easy to use in tight space like D-series. As I remember it's around $7

^^ That looks good but I think the hoda tool will be better...
Ryan,does the honda tool work on other filters like Hamp,K&N,Ryco or just OEM?
lol, nah only oem, has matched groves for your oem filter. Whereas the Ryco is wider and a much smaller profile, others aren't the same size. K&N has a good idea tho with the nut on it already, but they're very expensive making buying this tool sooo worth it in the long runQuote:

i've always been able to get it off by hand (with a descent amount of effort).
Apart from one time when i had to use a hammer and screw driver. hehe
Great to know Jase :)
