| Is it easy to get at the oil filter on '06? Any other tips or insight on changing oil? | |

Replying to: cards_200 (Jul 22, 2006 5:22 am) The Honda filters require a Honda tool ($20) to remove them. It's like a large shallow socket that fits over the end of the filter, and ever so slightly different (smaller inside diameter) than the 'common' ones you can buy at the parts store. The ones available at parts stores won't grip a Honda filter  , so I removed my original Honda filter with a large pair of channel-lock pliers. I replaced it with a NAPA Gold (same as WIX) filter, the 'common' filter wrench ($4) removes it. Here's a link to a site that will answer all your oil change questions and more, do search on 'Honda' in the various forums when you get there to narrow things down:Bob Is The Oil Guy

I just did my first oil change this weekend and believe it or, the black plastic filter remover cap for my wife's 05 corolla actually removed the filter on my LX sedan. You just have to push hard and then turn and it has enough bite to remove it. It worked fine. The black plastic fitler remover I used was from walmart and works on a 05 corolla LE filter. |

I just got my 06 civic lx sedan and didn't notice until after I got it home the wiper blade/arm. Pretty unusual. It doesn't have the metal arm 'skeleton' that all other wipers I've had on previous cars and seen at autozone,etc. for replacements. They look expensive to replace. Other than the dealer, has anyone found a source online for these hopefully less expensive than local dealer? From some sites I've looked at you can get replacements that look like the same old wiper arm but I would prefer the oem type blade if possible.

Replying to: mhobby1 (Aug 11, 2006 4:59 am) The end cap comes off and you slide out the old blade (wiping edge) and then slide the new one in, so it shouldn't be too expensive. |

I recently purchased a 2001 EX. I just performed the 80k required maintenance but the maintenance required light is still on. Does anyone know how to reset it?
