Do you have to remove the skid plate to change the oil?

Can you just leave it off?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Yes you do need to move it. Remove 3 bolts and only loosen the 4 then swing the skid plate out of the way. From what I here it is best to have some type of protection for the oil pan there.

At least you can use the same size wrench on the skid plate and the drain plug. Makes it a little easier.

Removing the skid plate will reveal possibly the world's easiest car to change the oil on.

Oh, and I wouldn't leave it off - heaven forbid you get a decent rock kicked up or something, better to dent the skid plate than rip the oil filter off or bust the oil pan.

Thank all for the responses!

The SLP skidplate is awesome, you don't have to take it off to change the oil, and it saves on weight! I sell them for 149.00 + shipping!
