I don't know if anyone discovered this b4.
After u remove the oil filter, disconnect the vtec wire and u have plenty of room to to screw the oil drain bolt back in and torque it from on top of the motor I use a 3/8 snap-on torque wrench w/swivel head. You can clean things up as well, especially if you have a spay bottle of degreaser and a water hose to clean off any dripping oil from the filter that landed on your xbrace, block or subframe. I could reach all the way down with a rag and wipe everything dry. (Just like my Backside) (or a babies bottom if you prefer that visual) I use a floor jack and so now after lowering the car to drain off all the rest of the oil with car flat and low to the ground, i don't have to jack it up again! just slide out my old oil container and done.
Don't know if Supercharger's get in the way of this.

ross you must have a aftermarket CAI
Thank you for the tip

 

Supercharger definitely gets in the way.

Plus with the comptech, you have the oil return line feeding into the oil drain opening via a new flange, so it wouldn't work even if you could (takes 2 wrenches)...oh well, I don't mind crawling on the floor for increased fun factor!

Put a "sticky" on your steering wheel. I did this for another owner, forgot about the wiring harness, got a CEL, had to replace harness and reset ECU. BUMMER!

 

kind of related - if you use a degreaser - make sure its aluminum safe. I use the Castol stuff in the purple bottle - but it is not aluminum safe - so for the S I just use windex or soap and water and a quick blast from the hose.
