Isn't it right on the top side of the engine? That is a great idea.

I have to contort my body, reach around and go through the wheel well on both Hondas. It's difficult and annoying. And I end up with oil all over the lower suspension.

The Armada had a slick little tray thingy that would channel the dripping oil directly into your drain pan, which was a thoughtful idea. You still had to remove the skid plates (I refer to that term loosely) to get at it filter. but once you're there, it's super easy to remove.
