Too true. I'm an oddity when I shop for a car since I pop the hood while
the salesman blathers on. I do my own maintenance and want to be sure it
will be feasible. My Toyota's maintenance schedule is rather boring --
replace the oil and filter every 5K -- but I made sure the filter is
accessible. It's tight but I can reach down from the top to unscrew it
although I still need to go to ground to remove the drain plug.

Being a Toyota that's about it although I have three bikes that keep me in
practice. They're not as bullet proof.
