Nortoon, I concur .... great oil change story.
Mine is not nearly as much fun. The drain plug came out easily. The filter didn't, as I've previously said. After the first oil filter 'socket' spun on the filter flutes, I jumped in the car and off to the Honda shop to pick up the proper Honda tool. Well, the store didn't have the official Honda tool, so I purchased one that seemed to fit the new filter very well. Got home, tried the new tool, and it also slipped. Well, in addition to slipping, it popped off the filter, came off the 3/8" extension, and fell into the tub containing the 4 quarts of used engine oil I'd left under the bike to capture the oil that'd be coming out of the filter. Splash! Oh well, these were old blue jeans, anyway.

PS - as stated in previous post, I finally got the filter off, new one on, the oil changed, with no more mishaps.
