I did the first oil change at a honda dealership specifically to loosen the oil filter for future oil changes (and because I had a free oil change voucher). When I went to do my second change I could not get the filter off using my hands or a filter wrench (which didn't fit in the small space). I ended up using the screwdriver method and cutting my hands numerous times on the pierced filter while unscrewing it. I don't think the Honda dealership replaced my filter on the first oil change, I think they do it every other time. So if you bring it to the dealer, make sure they replace it or at least loosen it for you.
