Red face I Can't believe this.......

So Duane comes home from work and tells me to go out and look at my car..... there's something wrong with it! I go out and there is a lot of oil on the floor of the garage. He checks the oil level
(we just had it changed last Fri.) and it's maybe a half a quart low. He looks and it seems like it is coming from around (you guessed it) the oil filter. But we don't know for sure. Waiting on the tow truck to come and take it to Honda.


hoping it has to do with the oil change.......

Will keep you posted as this is our only real running vehicle right now!!!!

I think that you should buy a car that has no oil filter. Let us know what happens. Hopefully it is an easy fix.

Wow.... that sucks. Was the Honda dealership the last place to change your oil? Either way half a quart isn't really a problem. Did you check if the filter is loose?

Well I just got back with my baby!!! It was a faulty Honda filter! So it's all cleaned up and ready for some fun again! And I have another free oil change from them. They got to the car first thing this morning. Great service from Napleton. I'm just glad that this didn't happen on the run Sunday. Crazy that it was 6 days after the oil change just like last summer with the Berlina Black S2K.

Here's an interesting update...... Napleton just called and wants the car back tomorrow.
Honda is sending out a special oil filter for the car. So my car will have it's 3rd oil change in 8 days!!!! We'll let you know if there is any important info coming out of this regarding the special filter they are next day airing to put on the car.
