my dad who has to work on the new opel insignia, (new buick regal) said that the oil drain is located above some other componet, think from the subframe, so in order to change the oil you'll need a special gutter tool so that the oil does not drip all over that frame. on my car i recently had to change the lightbulbs and although i'd never done it it was a pretty straightfroward process. on some newer cars the only sensible wat to do it is to put the car on a lift, open a (mud splattered) hatch in the wheel well, and reach into the cavity sharp projection filled cavity and feel your way trough the process. My dad commented that on some models replacing a bulb is so fiddly and difficuly, not to mention painfull, that the quickest way is to just unbolt the bumper and the entire light units. unfortunately all this unavoidable work time also ends up on the bill.
