15-Inch MacBook Pro Battery Recall Program

I get your point but I've never seen anything to support your oil filter claim. My 2010 BMW has a cartridge style oil filter which should be removable by hand. My dad's 1948 Oldsmobile also has a cartridge style oil filter but it requires a wrench to remove the bolt holding it together. Both the BMW and the Oldsmobile put the filter in an easily accessible place under the hood.

In between we had canister style filters (like on my old Toyota) which may or may not require tools to remove depending on the incompetence of your mechanic. I've never seen an oil filter that needed to be installed so tight you need a tool.

I don't think the increased difficulty in changing the oil is malicious intent. Just much less space under the hood. I'm not a big car guy, but for every car I've seen it has been recommended to hand-tighten, but you often need a tool to reach an awkwardly placed oil filter or loosen it.
