Oh, I know Badger. This was just one of those weeks where multiple "crap" things happened and this was the straw.
It is a huge pain in the butt compared to previous models. And, a factory filter relocation would've been nice. Or, a removable plate from beneath. Oh well. Before too long, they may have them where we can't do anything to them ourselves.
When I bought my '05, they had a promotion of "free oil changes for life". I never used it because the dealership was 110 miles round trip and it was easier to just do it myself. Now, I wish they had the same promo. Ha.
