Well, we definitely know it has to be attached to the engine.
Have you ever done an oil filter change before on any of your other cars? Just wondering about your mechanical history.

well i have a long mechanical history, and seeing as you cant see it from the top of the engine in any of the usual places it is and i cant be arsed jacking the car up to check where it is and as it is a new car and the dealer will be dealing with it for the warranty cover i was just asking out of curiosity but seeing as you seem to drive 10 year old cars not much use on this site really

LMAO........aparently magnetic blue doesn't realize how many people on here drive cars 10 years old and older. There's lots of people on here that drive 4th and 5th Gen Hondas on here.

Wow, I ask a simple question to find out his or her capabilities so that the forum will know better how to answer his or her questions and this magnetic blue person goes El Berzerko. (eg. Have you ever done an oil filter change before on any of your other cars? Just wondering about your mechanical history.)

With the attitude that this magnetic blue guy or girl has, I don't think they'll get much response to their questions on this forum if they're gonna go Berzerk everytime someone tries to get a bit of info from them.

Plus this guy or girl seems to think they're better than everyone that drives a 4th or 5th Gen Honda.
