Reminds me of one of my first vehicles, a Honda Accord (80's?) that I had for a short while. I wondered why on earth did they put the oil filter on the rear of the engine where you could see it through the spaces in the intake manifold, but had absolutely no way of reaching it without lifting up the front of the car and crawling all the way under it and then reaching way up the engine block.
