    Did Honda change the size of their oil
    filters for Accords and Civics?

    Yes, but they didn't lower the price, eh?

    Cost reduction for the factory :(.

    Pissed me off last week. My old filter wrench don't fit anymore.
    Almost has to use a pipe-wrench. What's a crap.

    There are plenty of high quality aftermarket filters still sold in the old
    size. Honda seems to have switched to Honeywell-Fram as their North
    American supplier, and those filters are sure nothing special.

    Wix, Purolator and Denso all still offer the larger body size filter and you
    should be able to find them which will still work with your wrench.
