wrench (available from your
Honda dealer) is required to
remove the f ilter.

instructions that come with it.
Run the engine until it reaches
normal operating temperature,
then shut it off.
Open the hood and remove the

drain bolt and washer f rom the
bottom of the engine. Drain the oil
into an appropriate container.
