Front Splitter Question

[samd1351]

Okay, this may be a stupid question, but...

I am looking at the front splitter from APR. It looks like it covers the underside from the from wheels forward. Does this interfere with changing the oil?

Yes the splitter extends back to approximately the front edge of the tire. This shouldn’t interfere with oil change access though, as the engine is further back than that area.

Just wan't sure where the filter was in relation to the splitter. i haven't had to change the oil yet, so I didn't know how that worked.

Thanks

I know on the PP cars, the front splitter/forward engine tray has a little flap that opens to get to the oil-filter. It is rather far forward on the engine, at the bottom.

That's what our Fusion had, and i figured the Mustang would be the same way. But looking at the picture of the splitter, it looks like it covers the the whole underside from the front wheels forward, and I didn't know if that would cover up the flap, or if it was farther back.

Call APR, let them give you the low-down. Never guess, or trust some asshole on the internet to give you the right advice. Especially me.

Here’s a 0:42 second video of the undercarriage of a 2015 GTPP, assuming that is what you have..
