No wonder its so hard to take off. You're typing on the forum with one hand and removing a filter with another. You should consolidate your efforts! :)

ok i'm more pissed now
i couldn't be bother waiting so i got the hammer and screw driver out (thanks moppie) and got the damn filter off, it was abit messy but i got it off, anyways i installed the new filter, and poured my high performace Vtec oil from HONDA in and started the car, after 20second i heard a funny noise and looked down and saw about 4L of my VTEC oil on the ground!!!!
i think i didn't do up the oil filter tight enought cause it was all oily!!!!
FREAKIN HELL!!!!!

sometimes the old rubber gasket sticks to the engine.so with pressure,the oil leaks between the 2gaskets.

I've been there too, I try to take great pride in knowing damn near everything about my car, but because i was in a hurry the last time I changed the oil when I went to the store to get a filter I figured "hey I know what filter it uses i don't need to look it up" well to make a long story short the filter I got was the exact same one the car uses except the rubber o-ring thing was in the wrong place Imagine my terror when i looked under it after i started it up and saw an oil fountain from around the filter. :eek2: I double check the filter numbers now:)

i'm finish now, i took off the oil filter and found out that the rubber ring didn't seal and thats why i have a pool of oil in my driveway ............ anyways i went and brought another oil filter and oil and installed it again, cleaned up the damn driveway and the only thing now is that when all the oil leaded out, it leaded onto my exhuast and it smokes and smells abit
thank you everyone :) i am now relaxing and stress free :p

Not all parts guys are bad. I am quite lucky to have a decent parts guy that gets me good discounts:)
