This isn't on an S2k its on an RSX, but I need some general advise.

I can't get the oil filter off and its one of those small tiny ones and located in a tight position so not many tools can get in there.

However I was thinking of just fill the car up with oil for now so the car can be driven and then remove the filter another day when I can get a friend to help. My question is if I fill up the oil and then remove the filter will a lot of oil be drained out?

I've never used one, but this looks like it'd help

you can stick a screw in the filter and turn it out, or just go buy a tool.

Thanks but I'm really wondering about if I fill up the oil now so the car can be driven and then remove the filter later will a bunch of oil spill out?

i used to have a civic si 04 with the k20a3, you would have to use this tool.

No, you won't get any more oil coming out when you change the filter if the oilpan is full of oil. I have removed my oil filter numerous times on many different cars before pulling the oilpan drain plug.

The oil filter sits higher than the oil level in the oilpan even if it's full.

Maybe you can fit some channel locks in there Thats what I use to get my filter off.

expansion cup will do the trick or filter pliers

it's not too tight it just that you can't get enough friction between your hand and the filter.

get a piece of sand paper, wrap it around the filter and turn
