I just bought a Jaguar F Type R and it is designed to have the oil extracted from the top. It has a canister filter on the top of the engine as well. A Mityvac is in my future. I don't have a shop compressor so the manual pump model will work I'm sure. I also have a Mazda CX 5 but the dipstick hole is tiny, barely larger than the width of the dipstick blade so that car is likely not compatible. But it is easy enough to pull up on ramps, remove a small access panel on the main underbody panel and then pull the plug and filter.
It seems that more and more cars are being designed for top extraction these days. That is OK with me although the initial cost of something like a Mityvac ( ~ $90) is somewhat high. But then again, look at how gleeful many of us are when buying any new tools or gizmos for our garages or workshops.
