Default changing oil in SH

I've never changed my oil in my prelude (too low, even on my tire ramps), but isnt there a difference in SH and BASE? How would you go about changing it in a SH? (i heard it was harder to get it)

thanks

The oil filter is located closer to the brake booster on an SH. As to the pan plug-that should be easy enough with your ramps. ALWAYS use a new crush washer on the pan plug.

And it might take a little more effort to work around the ATTS to get to the filter, or at least, that's what I've heard. Nevertheless, take your time, a proper job always beats a speedy one. No matter how much someone can downplay a "simple oil change", if you muck it up, it could cost you the most expensive parts in your engine ... funny how that works eh? Good luck.

I change my filter out from on top on my SH. I doubt you can even get to it from the bottom. Oil drain is the same spot.
