When my Wife and I were married she had a 1976 Pontiac Grand Prix that was in great shape. The first time that I changed the oil, I discovered that the oil filter was positioned horizontally and above the exhaust pipe, so I had to reach around a warm exhaust pipe to reach the filter and when I removed it warm oil dripped onto the warm exhaust pipe. Quite messy. My FIL installed after-market remote oil filters in the fender, so that they were easy to get to. Seemed like a great idea.
