re: Why won't auto manufacturers make it easy to change the oil on a vehicle?

Add that into an overpriced initial cost, and overpriced maintenance..you're paying far too much than what you're getting in return.

Cars are made with fricking plastics, and for fricks sake if a computer goes out in one..and the imports likeMercedes and bmw, not overpriced at all to fix something simple.

Overpriced for cheaper materials, and that's what is true.
