[quote Schpark]There is a known problem regarding fires with CRV's due to "improper oil changes".
See the following link:

So be careful.
That's the dreaded double gasket problem. It sounds like Honda had a gasket material that was really "sticky", and their solution was a procedural change (cheap to impliment), rather than a material change (which costs money).
Jiffy Lube procedure was to hold up the filter and the gasket to show the inspector after the oil change was done, to prove that the old gasket is off the engine.
