The only Honda owners getting excited about this are those that don't
change their own oil. I've purchased 3 Hondas new and they all had the
old oil filter gasket stick to the block during the first oil change.
You have to make sure the old gasket is still with the filter when you
take it off, otherwise, reach up there and pull it off the block.
