Im going to do my first oil change this weekend. Having put summer tires on the other car, I feel I now have what it takes to finish the oil change and do a brake fluid flush.
After that I intend to get my car dirty driving it in all kinds of weather.

Thought about driving over to the DMV this weekend to get the plates and put the S back on the road...
...but I'm not gonna. I think I'll keep it in the garage for a bit and wait for all my lovely parts to come in and get installed first

If you can find this type, I believe they are the best, but they have to be made out of thick steel, or thick cast metal, the thing sheetmetal ones are too flimsy.
GOOD

I bought one of these back in 1989, I have used it since then on both CRX's and the S2000. I buy the big diameter S2000 filter for the CRX,, originally that is the size filter that was used, nowadays the default filter is the much smaller one, but I refuse to go there, I just buy S2000 filters in bulk and use them on both cars.
I have always had problems with the Titan and the Frontier, could never find a decent socket type remover. Then, hahaha, last year I bought a good filter socket for the VFR, and one day it just hit me, :damnn, that looks like the Frontier size" and yup, sure enough, the VFR socket works for the Frontier filter.
Good luck shopping

Would a Sears or Harbor Freight carry these? Is there a size I must be looking for?

For the S2000, I bought the OEM filter wrench. Fits the Honda filters well, and has a cut out in it that you can fit a screw driver into to pry the filter out of the wrench.
