Also, no need to go to the dealer for the drain plug. The same thing happened to me about a year ago and I just went to a local parts store and they had it with the correct washer too. Probably cheaper than dealer, but I can't remember the price.
seriously...they are like 4 bucks. thats whats on my car come to think of it. no prob leaking from the drain plug.[/b]
i change plug every maybe 4 or 5 oil changes, and i change the washer everytime cuz it comes with the filter from honda, now i only use honda oil filters. i like them much more than fram and supertech. im kinda curious about the k&n gold oil filters, what do u guys think of them?

personally on all our cars...we use proline oil filters. the problem with the fram filters, they filter too well...good oil pressure but not enough volume. we need more volume, so we sacrifice a lttle bit of filtering for more oil to get to our bearings. none of use have ever had any trouble with bearings. they always come out looking clean. no matter what we seem to do to the motor.

Thank goodness for vise grips, zip ties, duct tape, and JB weld.
