Anyone figured out where is oil filter on I4s? I could not locate or see it from any angle top/bottom(I did not try to open any panels underneath though).

Page 441 and 442 in the owners manual show where it is. The plastic cover on the bottom of the engine needs to be removed to access it.

That is the one thing that kind of makes me want to not do my own oil changes...having to hold that cover up with one hand and trying to install a bolt with the other :|

I'll give it a shot at the end of the year when I'm do for an oil change. I actually think I will hit the 12 months before getting down to 10%.
It's seriously just a few metal fasteners that just turn counterclockwise to unlock and turn clockwise to lock. You just need a flat head screw driver. As with any Honda/Acura, just make sure you get a new crush washer for the drain bolt when you do your oil change.
