Admittedly mine is now self inflicted due to the above and large robust splitter/undertray, but oil changes for me are closer to an hour rather than the easy 20 min job it once was when stock.
A filter relocation to somewhere more accessible could drop that back down to 15 mins, and be infinitely easier and cleaner.
