At least 27 Honda CR-V sport/utility vehicles from the 2003 and 2004 model years burst into flames shortly after getting their first oil changes, according to newspaper reports Friday.

Besides, you either have to be a complete moron not to know how to install an oil filter (in which case what does that say for Honda dealerships) or Honda made it so difficult to do that if a tech cant do it right, how can the owner of the vehicle be expected to accomplish this task easily every 3 months.
