I like to change my own oil. Has anyone observed or asked a Ford rep about the ability to access the oil filter? On the Ranger I have heard that one of the front wheel well liners must be partially removed in order to access the oil filter. I hope that this is not true on the Maverick.

I was hoping for a top access filter.

My wife’s Fusion 2.0L EB has the oil filter on the bottom near the oil pan rail and I believe the mount is cast into the block.

My escape hybrid 2.5 liter has the oil filter on the bottom next to the oil pan.I believe the maverick has the same engine.

I found one video and this appears to be true. That's OK though.

One of the videos shows a cover plate under the engine which must be removed for oil filter filter access. I guess this is good and bad. Good because the engine stays cleaner😊 and bad because it is a little more difficult and time consuming to access.
