It'll also keep dirt and junk out of the engine bay...
Might be a PITA to get off and have to deal with for oil changes, but from what I've seen, at least they put the filter and drain in the right spot...unlike my Honda Civic - reach up passed the exhaust, between the steering components to the back of the engine...way up there where your arm is basically a straight shot to your arm pit...where hot oil will cause the MOST pain...with that, I've taken to removing the front driver's side tire/wheel, and going in through the side to get around that hurdle...
