the Toyota Yaris... rounding all corners at last weekends SCCA races in San Diego, on 3 wheels
it's hard to see what a Yaris looks like from this angle, so here are a couple shots that show what it looks like when not going around corners fast

changing the oil filter comparison, old car (my 1969 R/T) vs new car (my 2012 Hyundai Veloster)
above, a 426 cubic inch max wedge 8 cylinder , below, a 1.2 liter 4 cylinder
the old engine has an oil filter location right in front where you can see it and reach your arm in and unscrew it, and remove the filter, from either above the bumper or below
but below, the Veloster doesn't even have enough room for a hand to wrap around and grip the oil filter
a word about oil filter tools, the upper right aluminum filter socket? Might be the best at getting an oil filter off your engine. Also, in tight spaces, it can't be beat. Now, keep in mind you can pay more for oil filters that have a nut welded onto the cap, they are 10 dollars more, every time you replace them, or you can buy the 4 dollar range filter and only get one of these filter sockets once. The upper left tool? Useless, but I don't throw away tools, and it was handy to have to use as an example of a tool I won't bother using and don't recommend
another big difference, I have no space under the old car to get the oil pan (above) and have to get the floor jack and jackstands to get the drain plug to flow into the oil pan.... but the new car has lots of clearance and no jack w/ jack stands are needed
and there you can see the oil filter mount on the engine block, and it's leaking into a big trans pan under the car... because I need that big catch pan to stop the old car from marking it's territory with horsepower sweat
I bought a Purolator after learning that they are said to be the inventors of the oil filter, and Wikipedia backs that up... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_filters in 1923 two inventors named their oil filtering device the Purolator. How about that!
Ford and Chrysler have given the Purolator awards for quality, and it's an ISO 14001 certified company: http://www.pureoil.com/displaytab.aspx?tid=5
So, what's in an oil filter that makes some cost 15 dollars, and others 4 dollars? http://www.waynesgarage.com/docs/oil_filters.htm points out the two valves, by-pass, and anit-drain back, plus the filter material are big factors
