I saw a photo of a CR-V with the head off the engine. That's the only
way you'll ever get a really clear look at the oil filter once it's on
the engine. :-)

Thanks for all of the replies, I was at the fire station for 24
yesterday and didn't have access to her manual. She is a good kid but
sadly despite my lessons to her for several years she thinks all you
have to do is drive the damn things and have put gas in it. Hopefully
the Honda dealership will be open tomorrow so I can buy the blue stuff.
The oil filter is a pain but I always manage to get it off, I have found
that if I hold my tongue to the left side of my mouth that it comes off
easier. The CRV is a great little car and is the perfect car for my
daughter.
