I detect Honda B-series engine. Damn, if only I hadn’t spent the last 5 years of my life exclusively working on my own Honda of identical build.
Your oil filter is accessed from underneath the car, you will need a set of ramps or a floor jack and jackstands.
It is on the rear side of the engine block, horizontally screwed onto the side of the block. Basically trace your exhaust pipe straight back as it goes under the oil pan, then go up. It’s not terribly hard to reach.
Get yourself a locking chain wrench like this to try and get it off. I’ve been able to get off even the most fucked oil filters with one

It’s an H22A in a Prelude Type SH.

There is no room to get to the oil filter from the bottom. Believe me. I tried. This engine mounts it up top to make room for the ATTS unit. The base Preludes, however, do have side-mounted oil filters that are significantly easier to reach. The filter on my R-series Civic is bottom-mounted and super easy to reach. But yeah, this guy was a true PITA

H Series Gang! There have been a lot of times I’ve been happy my Prelude is not an SH, and I enjoy my T2W4 swap! I’ve got a DC2 Integra with an H23 VTEC swap that’s pretty fun, but I would’ve kept the B18 personally! I can live without power steering but no A/C in the south is rough.
