Nissans are generally easy to change the oil on. Try that on a Honda, the filter is on the back of the engine (towards the firewall) and sloped down, so you are bound to pour hot oil on the exhaust (and yourself) while crawling underneath your (mandatory) jacked-up car. I've given up on changing the oil on the Honda as the local dealer does it in 30 min for $18.95. I've also noticed that the Maxima has higher ground clearance than comparable cars, making it easier to slide an oil drain pan underneath. I just wish that Nissan used larger oil filters.

You can bypass the jacking up part if you remove the plastic guard from the right fender well, and turn the wheels to the far right.

Every did an oil change on a CRX?

Now, THAT is cake.
