A 17mm socket, and you're all set. I also use an oil filter wrench to start the filter moving.

I use the k&n racing oil filter and it works fine for me. Its the most expensive also so you know its good! I use mobile one for my oil, I use 10w-30, its the green label on the mobile one bottle.
I beg to differ. The most expensive one is the "Mugen" filter. That must be the best one then. Also, if you want the best oil you're going to have to pay much more than you're paying for that crappy USDM Mobil 1: To get the bestest oil ev4r, you should be spending $210 on 5.28 quarts of Oberon F333!!!11!!ONE!!

I don't think LudeDude uses that oil. I think he's simply pointing out the fallicy behind "kayvan pour's" statement:
I use the k&n racing oil filter and it works fine for me. Its the most expensive also so you know its good!
Poor young Kayvan seems to have quite a few oddball beliefs.

Here's another goofy statement:
I would strongly discourage from using the any other filter than the PCX-004 honda filter specific for the s2000.
You honestly think that there is something magical about the Honda PCX filter? I've been using Purolator Pure ONE filters on this car since new. My car is over 5 years old and is now supercharged. In fact, I've even used plain old Purolator oil filters in the past. These are some of the CHEAPEST filters on the market today. Guess what? My oil analysis shows NO DIFFERENCE between these two when oil changes are done within the guidelines set by Honda's maintenance schedule and BOTH analysis show more than adequate engine protection.
It's amazing just how gullible some people can be. It must be that "PIXIE DUST" we spoke of in another thread that make Honda PCX filters so wonderful.
