I don't get it was there a link or something that you forgot?
Or are you trying to say that it will be hard to reach the oil filter in the new bay?

I don't of anyone that was changing the oil from the top. But then again I have it done for me. I will have to ask them how they do it.

It's good to be the King.

I don't get it. Oil plug is under the car anyway so what's wrong with keeping the car up while changing the filter too?

Did you just say the fill plug is under the car (o.o)

And it's kind of a mess when your pouring oil into a filter then lifting it up without spilling I say this because on the 10-13 engines they have the oil filter on the topside of he engine.

I now understand what you are saying. So the answer to what your pointing out is, that this change will make it easy to change the oil and the filter. Because you will be under the car pulling the oil plug so you wont have to come out to go on top get the filter. Unless your trying to suggest that there are owners that change the filters but do not change the oil. Please tell me that, that is not what your suggesting.

He is simply saying it will be more difficult to change the filter is all. The 5th gen LFX has the filter on top (its a drop in cartridge...easy peazy stuff). This one will be a little more work and a little more mess.

No big deal.

My bad lol. That's what happens when you're tired and autocorrect also decides to kick in. Corrected the post.
