I used to drive Hondas, I hated that rear filter positioning, widowmakers ramping and accessing, burns hands in awkward positioning amd access to filter, my hands are large, very tough painful access burning and cutting skin. I drive my vehicles over a decade(s) and no one else changes oil in my vehicle, Oil Change accessibility and safety big issue for home OCI IMO.
I have Nissan's answer to the CRV, the Nissan X-Trail, may show up in the U.S. soon.
This machine is an OC dream, the filter sits right near the passenger front tire, a small flexible plastic cover comes off in about 4 seconds with a neat interlocking clip system much like the Altima, the filter is right there over 1 foot off ground tucked up, no obstruction, no crawling back of engine. Oil pan sitting pretty centered and high. Home OCI dream, no mess, fires, lots room and access, 100% safe.
