Perhaps not a Honda, but the 1998-2002 Toyota Camry V6 has a rather
strange filter mount location. It's right on the front of the engine
block, with the filter mounted sideways. When the filter is removed,
oil goes through a hole and down the front exhaust pipe. This appears
to be by design. There's inevitably a bit of oil that remains inside
an exhaust bracket that can't be wiped off. Haven't had a fire yet.
