Chevrolet 3.6l V6. Hardest and easiest.
My wife's old 2016 Impala had the oil filter wedged in with the front exhaust manifold, about an inch from one of the catalytic converters. You could unscrew it from the top, but you couldn't lift it out between the engine and radiator. A couple times I dropped it after burning myself and splashed oil everywhere. The drain plug was almost horizontal. The first time I pulled it oil shot straight out onto the inside of the right front tire. After that I found I had to hold the pan up to catch the first spurt of oil.
Same engine, 2021 Blazer. The oil filter is now on the bottom of the engine, and the drain plug is also on the bottom. No muss, no fuss, easy.
I always hated the later model Volkswagens and Audis that I used to own. I always had to pull a big plastic under tray to get to anything.
