There are some other fun ones, too. I had an F150 in 2014 with the ecoboost 3.5, and the oil filter was directly above the control arm. So they put in a deflector over that to keep it from just running onto the arm itself. Still really messy and inconvenient.

Traded that truck for a Lightning, now I haven't really thought about the inconvenient design decisions around oil filters in a while.
