Now show the "Replace oil filter with new" step, ideally (like you mentioned) without lifting the vehicle

Many oil filters these days are accessible from the top of the engine, and IME it’s possible to get under many SUVs/CUVs/trucks far enough to remove the filter/bung without lifting anyway. A set of drive-on ramps makes it kind of a non issue either way
That's how I do it on my vehicle, no lift no ramps. I just slide under on my back and everything is very accessible. Toyota still doing something right I guess.
For all of my cars, its centrally located, near the dipstick.
