In what cars and trucks can you reach the oil filter without going down under.

2013 Subaru Legacy 2.5. I can do an oil/ filter change without having to raise or crawl under to do. I can reach the drain plug from the front and is in reach.

On my 99 Taurus I could "reach" the filter from above, but wasn't allowed to change it. Some bright soul routed an A/C line right over it, so I could touch it with my finger tips, but not enough access to actually remove it. Thank you, Ford.

My 01 Dakota I can remove by reaching over the tire, does that count? Love that torsion bar suspension!
