I hate those type of filters. New turbo diesel VW bugs are like that and they suck.
new SI = worst oil change ever.

Crap.
I don't want to know where the filter is on my new fit.
Jeffie: I know your pain, it's impossible to get to the filter on my 1.4l civic, because you have to reach over the axle, and twist your hand around the intake manifold support to get to the damned thing. Not to mention you have to wait for the exhaust to cool completely before you even reach up there. Oh, and the shift linkage.
I like the design of the new civic, it looks like it'd be easy to prefill the filter.

Yeah we had those they kinda sucked using and were impossible to put on the new SIs. The easiest now I think about it is was the Odyssey and the Ridgelines. They were right behind the front passenger side.
all 4 cylinder mitsubishis, btw
i made it even easier though. turn the wheel full lock left, slide the pain under. i got one of those fram quick-drain plugs where you uncap it and screw the hose on. takes about 10 minutes to drain but hell no mess. then unscrew the oil filter which is off to the side and VERY easy to wrap your hand around. with the wheel off it is even easier.
i do have a relocation kit to put on though, it adds about 1/2 quart to my system.

This is about the location for the 2.4L Breeze/Cirrus/Stratus and Caravan. Is basically the americanized version of the Mitsubishi engine. Probably most 2.0 dodges are nice. But if you think about it, the oil leaking all over if you leave it will prevent rust, sort of.

Z6 i think you're on to something! Rust protection is exactly the thing i'm worried about my aluminum block needing. ^_^This is about the location for the 2.4L Breeze/Cirrus/Stratus and Caravan.

you mean the bastardized version of the 4g64.
if you take care of your vehicle you dont have to worry about oil and rust, right?

Along with its collecting in those corners. oil tends to layer in some places and make a sludge that is impossible to clean or penetrate. Blowing out lifetime axles cv joints is like getting a free undercoating minus the labor.
I have a habit of pressure washing the underside and wells any chance I get in the winter. It's kept rust and rot away quite well. As long as you take care of any spots that appear to start forming as well.
