The oil filter cannot be seen from opening the hood. It can only be seen from underneath the car with the line of sight being the center of the oil pan plug and looking up at the magnifold,ie, side of the engine closest to the dashboard. Support with strong jackstands and put a block under the rear wheels. Make sure the left or right side of the frame is lifted at least 15". Crawl under the center of the front of car about 12" past the oil plug, or about 36" from front bumper, it is a considerable distance. Look and 18" up will be the filter facing horizontal toward the rear of the car. Finally, the filter is very small so one must use a very small oil filter wrench or a filter cap socket that fits over the end of the filter. With a socket one can use a ratchet and extension to loosen and remove the filter. Many people have questioned the degree of difficulty in replacing the oil filter of the 2002 Honda. Most important is to support the frame of the car and being deliberate in raising and lowering. If you dont have the hydraulic lift tools, 2 tons jacks or do not feel comfortable jacking up the front end of a car, do not attempt this.
