How hard/ messy is it to do the oil change on my 20 gt premium? Stealership went up 20 bucks on my last one.

I have a question about the oil filter access. I haven't looked too closely under the car yet, but noticed there is a cover under there. Is the oil filter accessible without having to remove this cover?Not bad. Be carful when removing the factory drain plug. Consider replacing it with something better if you plan on continuing to do your own oil changes.
I also like to remove the under cover to take a peek around.
On a PP1 there is a cover/flap to access the oil filter. According to the service manual the underbody shield on the non-PP1 models has to come off to remove the oil filter.I have a question about the oil filter access.

Ok, thank you. I do have the PP package, so I'm glad for that.On a PP1 there is a cover/flap to access the oil filter. According to the service manual the underbody shield on the non-PP1 models has to come off to remove the oil filter.
The original oil pan plug has been proven on more than a hundred thousand Coyote engines, it is not a problem.

My 2020 non-PP has the flap as well. I think it's still a good idea to remove the under cover to see what treasures have been trapped in it lol.On a PP1 there is a cover/flap to access the oil filter.

Are there really solid jacking points on these things/ Should I worry about body lip damage etc anything like that?
I'm not going to have a lift as I'm renting a condo for the next year, year and a half so will have to be stands and jack's unfortunately for now. . .
Good info to know. I'm glad there's an opening for filter access. I mean, even my Mazda CX-5 has a panel for that. Sometimes I wonder about engineering, as I have worked with many over the years! I bought a Femco drain plug, and will see how that goes. It looks pretty good to me and hopefully make future oil changes a little easier and less messy, from what I have read on here.My 2020 non-PP has the flap as well.

Swapping out the OEM drain plug is strictly my preference. I went with a UPR. It's magnetic and you can control the initial flow.
