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.

    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.

      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.

    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.
