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

Hell, on a lot of vehicles it's difficult to even add oil if you're a little low. The filler cap is nearly inaccessible, or it's so recessed you spill half the oil you're trying to pour in.

I find new vehicles much easier to work on than old ones. They diagnose themselves and are much more modular.
I have a Volkswagen diesel which should be the epitome of impossible to work on, and oil changes aren't bad at all with the right tools.

Engine oil is typically fairly accessible. It might be covered or routed oddly to keep the appearance of the engine bay, but it's there.
If you change this discussion to transmission oil, I'm with you. Many vehicles require the dealer to check it for you and no longer even include a dipstick. Not to mention no drain plug or anything of the like.
